Review: (#1, C) Trying to create a sense of passion and joy, this film scene doesn’t quite get at the intensity of the film’s premise and isn’t likely to pull in Lucy Liu’s fans.

Trailer Rating: C

Review: (#1, C) Chopping up the film’s narrative into cinematic soundbites for the trailer is not the way to win engagement from audiences. The viewer never quite gets a sense of what the film is about except that it’s supposedly a strong Lucy Liu performance. That isn’t adequate.

Oscar Prospects:

While there’s been some minor buzz surrounding Lucy Liu, a look at the trailer suggests it might not be taken seriously.
