No. What's it about.
I'm watching it, seems ok only caught it half way through though.
Looks good, may turn off the music and have a watch 
It's about an unconvential woman challenging small minded folk in a small town, with her numerous loves.
I only just turned it on. The lightning flashes were way too bright and way too frequent. Very poor decision by the film makers to have so much flashing. My eyes actually hurt.
