Loved it! Acting was brilliant!
AMAZING story... AMAZING acting... AMAZING dialogue... I was riveted from beginning to end.
Its a shame Kate was nominated for The Reader for the Oscars instead of this. It's a far superior movie.
Surprisingly bad movie - with all the media hype and awards won so far I expected something riveting. Kate unfortunately does not command your attention, Leonardo does a better job at this. Overall the movie is a glorified sit-com gone bad - simple plot. At best a rental. I can't understand why Kate won 2 awards for her acting. Her career has been fabulous up to this point, and Leonardo never did receive the accolades he deserved for this role.
FANTASTIC MOVIE. The acting-amazing. The story- incredible. Kate, Leo, and Sam deserve all the credit in the WORLD for making this movie as amazing at it was. I'm glad it was a departure from their relationship in Titanic, making this completely different and leaving no room for comparison, and only with the 100% confirmation that they have undeniable chemistry. Recommend this movie to ANYONE.
be warned...there are no positives in this movie except for the acting and creation of it. it is a dark movie about dark subjects. extremely depressing. the writers purposely put a "crazy" person in the movie whom turns out to be the most logical in touch with reality character of the works of them. it does as others have said inspire thought long afterwards but are they good thoughts? well done but not for everyone or even for most. i'm guessing the shrink for the author could base their entire carreer on the author
Was an amazing movie - started off slow but all of a sudden it grabs you - very powerful!!!
nice suprise
The acting was amazing no doubt about it. I didn't feel Sam captured the whole selling out for the american dream. I felt Kate's character April should have gotten on some anti depressents and she would have felt a lot better about life....not sure if that was the point or not. I left the movie feeling puzzled...did they not have Prozac back inthe 50's?
I liked the crazy guy, he was funny. I could relate with his character. For a nut job, he was bang on the mark.
