A uniquely grotesque Frankensteinian coming-of-age conglomeration of Shakespearean-speak dialog; lavish period settings, scenery and costuming; steam punk inspired machinery; copious use of ultra-wide angle camera lenses; and, apparently the most important ingredient to the script-writer, a frequent shock-value infusion of graphically gratuitous nudity and soft-porn throughout, willingly depicted by actors of all shapes and sizes, not the least of which, our unabashed hope-this-gets-me-an-Oscar starlet. In the end, nothing more than heady snob-bait, and a bizarrely dark and prurient nightmare that "entertains" at the same level as the real-time viewing of a multi-car pile-up crash.
A unanimous and rare walk-out for us after suffering thru 40 minutes of drab, dreary, deadpan dialog which hopscotched around in time periods. A history lesson? Yup. Entertaining? Nope!

THE FOLLOWING IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: This film consists of an hour and 48 minutes of sloowww, non-stop, senseless stupidity. Zero plot, moronic-ly dysfunctional characters all, inane dialog, excruciatingly dull, robotic acting, ZERO entertainment value. No redeeming value, at any possible level, whatsoever, except to serve as a shoe-in for, "The Worst Film Ever Made." Got someone you really hate? Enthusiastically recommend this tripe to them, and hope they stay till the pathetic end. Should be evaluated as a forced-viewing alternative, and far less humane punishment, to waterboarding. Not worth the 600 character-length IMDB is forcing me to type to complete this review.
