unconvincing on every level; Early on while watching "Elyse", you may find yourself wondering why on earth Anthony Hopkins agreed to appear in such a wan, amateurish drama
an oddly entertaining film about a woman in a catatonic state; "Elyse" is a strange movie, and it's hard to imagine more than a handful of people - maybe a dozen, tops - enjoying it
a poorly shot, badly acted, ludicrously implausible film directed and co-written by Stella Hopkins, whose husband Anthony Hopkins appears in a supporting role as a therapist and lends his grace and professionalism to an otherwise amateurish effort
