I HATED this movie

Sooooo, I saw this movie thinking, oh, Judi Dench is directing it and Kenneth Brannagh and Emma Thompson play the leads, how can we go wrong? I don't know, let's just make it so ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. Brannagh is the only actor trying, Emma Thompson is completely wasted and the whole movie is a chore to watch. The whole movie takes place in one flat, which isn't a bad thing, but the whole movie is just boring. The only saving grace is Kenneth Brannagh, he gives a good performance, nothing Oscar winning, just solid enough to earn credit from me. So I can't fault him for that. At the end of the day, this is a movie that might not be THAT bad, but it's hard to watch as it's 2 hours of not much happening. Judi Dench, stick to acting, you're incredible at that.
