First the good - Julianne Moore did an amazing job. Amy Adams, who I generally adore, went over the top.

The rest - first the bad script. I have not read the book but the script was bland and dialogs sounded more like words inserted because people have to say something in a movie. Even the silences were forced.

Totally unfitting music. It did not promote the mood of the movie and didn't work in so many places.

The director could not decide what he wanted to convey so kept swinging between genres through the scenes. Or maybe that was the editor's doing. Either way the parts didn't fit into a whole.

Horribly made movie. I think the only ten out of ten here is a professional reviewer with some vested interests. This movie is no where near watchable. Everything from acting to directing to cinematography are absolutely pathetic. School kids would have done a better job. They probably do. I'm not going to waste any more time even reviewing this drivel. Best avoid this garbage.

With such high ratings I was intrigued since I fall into that mid 80's group of teenagers. Unfortunately this was a childish effort which was neither funny nor emotional. The scenes didn't fit together as a symbiotic whole. I don't rate many movies but when I see movie makers blatantly hype up the reviews for the sake of ratings, I try to help out with some real reviews. This can be easily avoided.
