Running Time 105 minutes

The Object Of Beauty (15)

Plot
Jake and Tina are two American yuppies living in a posh London hotel. Despite appearances, they are stony broke and contemplating selling or faking the theft of her Henry Moore bronze. There is also a suspicious chambermaid so when the bronze goes missing, it is not a cut and dried case...

Verdict
This looks lustrous (thanks to cinematographer David Watkin) but it's bankrupt in terms of ideas and execution and both leads seem uninspired
