I had no idea what this movie was about and had not heard of the book. That said, I loved the movie, loved Cate Blanchett as Bernadette and thought all the supporting actors were great.
If you are a creative person who feels you have fallen off your intended path, if you are struggling with feeling isolated and unproductive, I strongly recommend this movie. I love that it has as its main character a complicated, talented woman. It is so rare to see on screen and makes this movie vitally important. (More representation for interesting women!)
If history has shown us anything, it is how often talented women artists get tossed into asylums for not fitting in with the societal "norm." At last here is a movie that changes that narrative.
