Savage Grace (2007)

A socialite and her husband live in various places in Europe throughout the sixties and seventies; they have a son. The socialite comes from a lower class and behaves obnoxiously in social occasions, much to her husband's dismay. He eventually leaves her.

Although inspired by real characters and events relating to the Baekeland family, the film handles the factual and speculative material so incompetently that it becomes an incomprehensible mess. There is no causal arc between any of the characters' acts, and at times what they say and do is simply not believable.

Rating: 25
