Don't mention the syndrome


Bel Canto (2018)

Directed by Paul Weitz this film based on the novel of the same name stars Julianne Moore, Ken Watanabe, Sebastian Koch and Christopher Lambert. In the late 1990s dignitaries from various countries are held hostage in South America.

I found this to be somewhat of a disappointment, a film dripping with Stockholm syndrome that never tackles the subject matter. For all the on screen talent I really expected something more from the script. The direction and acting are fine but can not carry a bland script.

2/5
