The acting was uniformly good. However, I don't think there are any Academy Award nominations here for movie or actress, even though Marion Cotillard is an excellent actress and was very deserving of her Oscar for La Vie en Rose in 2007. There just isn't enough of a story here to make this a satisfying movie. I expected the movie to be slow, which it was. But I didn't find it boring. It might have been good for a Lifetime TV movie.
I go to a lot of independent movies as well a mainstream ones. I often think the critics get it wrong. Maybe that's because I want to be entertained by a well done, well acted movie. I have the feeling that many critic's criteria for rating a movie doesn't place enough value on entertainment. Maybe "Entertainment Value" should be included with their rating.
Not Recommended.
