It's basically a feature-length stunt like the shot-for-shot PSYCHO remake, albeit in this case Haynes making "his" Sirk picture. I think most critics loved FAR FROM HEAVEN because they were "in" on the joke, so to speak, but it's not exactly a film that the average viewer will be able to get much out of.
Still, it's extremely well-made and well-acted, it's just not particularily emotionally involving on any level at all, unless you're a diehard Sirk fan who gets off on seeing his style copied so maticulously.
