Reviews
Beautiful, moving film.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
