Savage Grace is a 2007 film directed by Tom Kalin and written by Howard Rodman, based on the book Savage Grace by Natalie Robins and Steven M.L. Aronson. The story is based on the dysfunctional, allegedly incestuous relationship between heiress and socialite Barbara Daly Baekeland and her son, Antony. The film stars Julianne Moore, Stephen Dillane, Eddie Redmayne, Elena Anaya and Hugh Dancy.

It was an official selection at the 2007 London Film Festival, the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.

An utterly atrocious film. In addition to being mind-numbingly boring, the performances are all awful. Even the wonderful Julianne Moore can't save this disaster. This is just a project where nothing works. The direction is dull and unexciting, the script is way too melodramatic and cheesy, and the musical score doesn't fit at all with what is taking place onscreen. What could have been a reasonably effective and disturbing film is instead reduced to a laughable, amateurish mess. D

Not that I distrust thompsoncory, but are there any other opinions out there? This seems to be pretty polemic amongst the critics (well, less polemic and more split between tolerance and disgust...). Still, it opens down the street on Friday and it features two of my favorite subjects: Julianne Moore and incest involving bisexual supermodels. It's sort of a shame this can't be better.... if anyone has seen it, I encourage them to review it. Make me feel better, not worse, for wanting to see this. :sweat:
