I liked the feel of this film, but...
It's a kind of Orwellian "Lost in Translation" (with a chunk of A. Huxley thrown in for good measure). Samantha Morton is great as the Winston Smith/Scarlett Johansson character. I liked the Asian settings, one of the scenes reminding me of a hotel I stayed at in Delhi. I liked the futuristic English language with its smattering of Spanish and French.
So, why only five stars? Well, it's not just bleak, it's dull. Three things happen in an hour and a half, and Tim Robbins doesn't breathe much life into those meagre happenings. I'm surprised that Hollywood backed it - who did they think would want to watch it? I'm one of the few people I can think of who might enjoy such a film, and even I found it boring.
