I have seen about 20,000 movies in my lifetime so far, this is in my top 10, a masterpiece, a thesis for the mature mind. A reckless portrayal of kaleidoscopic selfishness, ultimately leading to it's logical conclusion. Emotionally riveting, draining, lessons for everyone if you speak this language.
Great acting but a very depressing story. Didn't quite get the point of the movie.
Acting was superb. I thought it might be more humours.
Very good acting in a depressing movie about a dysfunctional family....why oh why did i go?
While I enjoyed many parts of the movie, I found that, after awhile, the arguing and bickering got on my nerves. It seemed a tad over the top. It was a good movie but not great, in my opinion.
Absolutely stunning film! A must see. Five stars ++ The acting was extraordinary. Thought provoking and insightful. Leaves one humbled and wondering.
I did not enjoy this movie at all and was very disappointed to see such great actresses as Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, play in such a demeening movie, I never saw that side of their acting before. I don't recommend this movie to any one.
Can't figure out what the point to this movie. Was it to show how dysfunctional families can be. Was very depressing, but Merle Streep was excellent....would not recommend this movie to anyone who was breathing.
This is the most depressing movie I have ever seen. Very slow. Still trying to figure what the point of the movie was.
Did not care for this one and expected the acting to be stronger based on all the hype
