hour, and the remainder of its running time effectively reiterates character details LaBute already established: Hap is a self-serving misogynist, and Mina and Lucy’s self-satisfaction is so cryptic and cloying that the film’s conclusion becomes blindingly obvious. If the writer-director’s intention was to create tension, an hour of LaBute’s Men Are From Mars feminism, which was well-established in his 1997 debut, only underscores how little the film actually has on its mind.
LaBute maintains the pretense of telling a fable, with gothic title cards declaring “Once upon a time…” before his characters meekly settle into their pre-ordained roles. The choice only adds an unearned layer of condescension, leading to the decidedly underwhelming observation that stories have meaning. Truly, riveting.exists in a strange and equally fatal no man’s land of being simultaneously under- and overwritten.
