Review of The War of the Roses

I do not criticize the film for having been made ; indeed the subject matter is most original therefore the Director must be commended on an artistic level for having produced it. But really, cinema is here to make us dream and fell good. With this film you CANNOT feel good, there is so much hate and evil that it is frankly disgusting. I am sure that situations such as the one depicted in the film actually do exist in real life - that is enough, and painful as it is, without having to see them re-enacted during a film. I see people describing this as a black comedy but regrettably find nothing comic about the work at all. I do enjoy true black comedy about death, cripples et alia but here there is not an iota of anything vaguely comic. Though tribute must be paid to the main actors for their magnificent performances. However the film has left me with a negative prejudice about Kathleen Turner, who, to me at least, inspired more hatred than Michael Douglas. Indeed the film has the dangerous singularity of inspiring hatred and is far from resembling anything comic
