The results are decidedly mixed, and it's obvious that this kind of tragic allegory is better suited for the stage (where it originated as a play by John B. Keane). What makes the film worthwhile is the 0scar-nominated ...

»rank: 23980
0ur opinion: :When hard-drinking Hubert Flynn comes home late and bedraggled for the umpteenth time, he wakes up transformed into the rat he truly is.

When a writer arrives and offers to help Conchita write a bestselling ...
