Dialogues are long, they don't make sense and don't go to the point. Worse, they often sweat of self contentment and use a vocabulary that the writer clearly doesn't understand and that the story really doesn't need. Except for the father, the acting is actually very bad and I think this is due to the mediocre direction and casting more than to the actors themselves. Don't wait for a ending that makes sense either: The emotional music at the very end comes like "it all makes sense, how brilliant!" but in fact what happens just doesn't work at all and is quite embarrassing. I nearly walked out several times but thought the nonsense would eventually be lifted at some point, not. Summary: if I pooped in a bucket and filmed it that would be about twice as interesting as Franklyn. This film feels like a student projects that didn’t go well.

A dystopian future where religion rules the government.... if anything, religious belief beyond vague spirituality has been in decline in the western world. Now, I'm not saying there isn't merit in exploring the idea that Church controlling State is bad, but these days it's more likely to be the other way around (to name just one situation, see the HRC rulings in Canada). But yes, the mask is cool... heh... These movies always come off as anti-religion.

Maybe the HQ/HD version will look and sound more impressive. I don’t think that was a strong or convincing trailer. Maybe the HQ/HD version will look and sound more impressive.
