Mini Review - Tabu

Tabu (out May 16) is a Portuguese film that I really struggled with (despite the fact it has won a few awards). Told in two parts, it begins with an cranky old woman from Lisbon who is frustrated by her maid. There's an emotional impact late in this story but it's a long, slow grind in the lead up. Grade: C+.
