Ang Lee makes tedious, watered down, middlebrow piffle. This movie looks like more of the same along the lines his 'The Ice Storm' all from the devilish spawn of ersatz pseudo art like 'Ordinary People'.

I really enjoyed The Ice Storm and even Sense and Sensibility, though I don't care for costume films generally. And Crouching Tiger was visually beautiful.
I thought Ice Storm was less suffocating than Ordinary People and that kind of junk, with terrific acting.

Ordinary People is one of only four movies I've walked out of in my life (
Eraserhead, Notorious C.H.O., Moulin Rouge), and I've seen an average of one a week in a theater for over 30 years.
By the time I'd had all I could stand and got up to leave, I wanted all those horrid "Ordinary People" to be dead in horrible ways.
