I had absolutely no expectations whatsoever about this movie, but I knew it was going to be a bumpy ride just as soon as I saw the name Elizabeth Taylor on screen AND what a bumpy ride it was.. how was I to know?? Never once did I feel anything for the main character who has ironically been given the name 'Angel'. The actress playing the selfish little brat didn't captivate my attention at all. The only thing interesting about her were maybe her piercing blue eyes. But they weren't enough to get me through this more-than-2-hour-long over the top movie. Everything about it had me cringing in my seat: the god awful music, the fake decors, the crazy outfits. I know it's typical for director Ozon to (shock and) awe his audience with his 'kitschy' style, but when the entire audience starts to laugh as the main character is laying on her death bed screaming her own name just before she goes, that's not a very good sign.
