'Secrets of a Scandal': I'm not even fascinated by them. Neither Julianne Moore nor Natalie Portman get me out of boredom.

The murky story could be fascinating, but Todd Haynes's way of telling it makes it insignificant, and uselessly pretentious. It rolls in a very strange way (at some point, the characters address the viewer in close-up with some absurd speech) The camera and the narrative do deliberately strange things. Sometimes I cannot understand what they are trying to tell and I am not interested in what seems to be transparent.
