Bittersweet Symphony

Title serves the recipe for this film with some salt and pepper too it goes down fairly easy......tidy Welsh backyards (college years memories) serve as a background where noisy Mediterranean barbeques can spoil the tranquility...Suki,s nightingale voice looks promising....happy to see Jennifer Gray...she kept being so tiny I thought that in the guest 0house scene she would run and jump on taller Suki so that the latter would play late Patric Swazie and lift her up

I tried watching this and by the 10 minute mark, I realized that I hated every character in it. Is this one of those films that "looked good on paper?" Because I'm guessing the script didn't include direction that indicated *very unlikeable* for every character in the story.

I was really hoping to see Suki Waterhouse in a normal movie role, so this is a big bummer for me.

I'm feeling like casting choices plus the directors "vision" is where this went wrong. Casting actors you just want to punch in the face isn't a good approach, but making them be c#@ts also, is a great way to kill your movie.
