Infidelity, homosexuality, incest, madness, and murder among the Bakelite heirs. Fact-based story, unconvincing in period (mid-Forties through early-Seventies), performance, dialogue, staging. Filmmaker Tom Kalin’s sophomore effort shows little advance over his freshman Swoon. His graduation falls behind schedule. With Julianne Moore, Stephen Dillane, Eddie Redmayne, Hugh Dancy, and Elena Anaya. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
