This film about a young man discovering that the older woman with whom he had an idyllic affair was possibly a Nazi war criminal reunites director Stephen Daldry and screenwriter David Hare, who last collaborated on The Hours, and it proves to be every bit as plodding, and earnestly morose as that film, albeit this time with the heft of historical atrocity rather than just the dead weight of social conformity to help sustain its characters’ various neuroses. In particular, Daldry fumbles the early sequences, which equate frank nudity with emotional honesty, but come across like a teenage male fantasy. (Hollywood Jewel 16, Waco, TX)
