Bawoooo

I agree with many of the unfavorable reviews. This movie is a mess that frustratingly dwells on the insignificant and glosses over the relevant and poignant parts of Ms. Shriver's book. At least one quarter of the movie are face shots of Ms. Swinton's bewilderment as she walks or drives from one place to another. Enough already! If director Lynne Ramsay were to do a movie adaptation of the Mona Lisa, she would show partial images of the subject's nose, an eye and her right index finger. The rest of the time would be close-up shots of DaVinci's concentration as he is painting. Voila! Ms. Ramsay's interpretation of DaVinci's masterpiece.

This movie had so much more to work with to make an excellent movie.
