Film Review: Stylish ‘Violet & Daisy’ Wastes Talented Cast
Submitted by BrianTT on June 7, 2013 - 2:22pmRating: 1.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – The premise of “Violet & Daisy” and the three actors at its center leave so much room for hope. That room slowly dissipates over the course of the film like air leaking out of a tire. Really? You’ve got this cast with this concept and this is the best you can do? Overly stylized to the point of suffocation, “Violet & Daisy” is the kind of tragic misfire that you just know must have been apparent while it was being made.
