Brady Corbet makes his directorial debut with this period drama which witnesses the transformation of a troubled youth into a tyrant in 1919 Paris. His father (Liam Cunningham) is an American diplomat while his strict mother (Berenice Bego) has to raise the boy with assistance from hapless maids and a worried tutor (Stacy Martin). The pacing is slow and the movie is boring. The acting is ok I suppose. But if there is ONE single thing I can compliment or hell applaud about this movie is the music. The score is flat out fantastic. And Brady Corbet's direction is not terrible I guess but I don't see anything particularly interesting about it. Perhaps he will do better next time.
