Not much of a reader, so I haven't read the book, so I can't compare the movie to the book.
For the purposes of the review I will rate it as if it were a movie unto itself. The scenery looks great, but the script and acting was garbage. I understand Catherine was a bored and entitled rich woman, but nothing in the script gave us any in depth look into her or into the love triangle she was trying to make. Instead it appeared as if she was some sort of mentally unstable individual. One minute being cold for the sake of being cold, the next creating an argument for the sheer fun of it. I'm describing it all with more depth than the mere words she was saying. The script and direction were very plain, very much like my writing, though i'm not the one being paid to write.
The other pieces of the triangle being Marita and David acted well enough. The script itself wasn't helping much, and the overall storyline was all over the place.
Having more erotica than substance certainly seems unlike some reviewers would say about this film, but i'm hoping the book did a better job with regards to setting up the story, and actually conveying a triangle that made some sense.
Hopefully my review is informative and will give a non-reader enough information to peruse the book in hopes of a better plot line
