If you're in the mood to be depressed, this is probably right up your alley. It's a film about sad, pathetic people living in a run-down, seedy environment and how unhappy they are with themselves and each other. It is well-acted (especially by Sir Laurence) and well-directed (I was lucky enough to see a brand-new print), but non-stop depressing. I left after an hour...I couldn't take any more than that. The good acting and direction are worth seeing, but it's SO downbeat! You've been warned.
