I went to this movie because it had five stars and was leading the box office gross receipts. I'm so sorry I went it was absolutely awful what a waste of time and money never ever again!
Took my daughter and her 3 friends - 14 yrs. We all found it boring, hard to follow, stupid. As a mother, elementary school teacher, and movie buff I didn't think it was very good at all. Funny how almost everything with Meryl Streep in it today is awful; she, who referred to Harvey Weinstein as "God". Two hours of our lives we will never get back.
I don't get why the ratings I saw before I went to this movie were 4 stars. This movie was all over the place. Too hard to follow, way to many flashbacks to figure out what was going on. Waste of time and money
The movie grew boring. The flashbacks were frustrating.characters were not developed enough for the audience to care what happened with them. I saw it with 15 year old. female She had same remarks.
I guess because I knew the story, there was no surprises. The original and second remake was better. All in all I found it kind of boring but can well understand how someone totally new to it would appreciate it much more. I didn't like the portrayal of Laurie at all. There wasn't any development of the relationship between Meg and her writing mentor. All of a sudden she's madly in love and you got the impression that she had only met him once. Not my favorite. I only saw it because there was nothing else I hadn't seen.
Wonderful period costumes & scenery. Switching time periods confusing & frustrating. Drawn out longer movie. Given piano to Beth was not the same piano she was playing at the mansion.
In my “best movie I’ve ever seen “ list! Beautifully acted, filmed, directed! I only wish I could have seen it with my daughters!
The director made every scene extraordinary..It felt like a new take on an old classic.The acting, the way it unfolded start to finish, I am amazed that more people are not calling this a masterpiece.
Well acted, enjoyable touching story for the era with some deviation from the book as this version did a more current rendition than the previous 2 versions.
Exceptional character acting
