I'm reading a lot of positive reviews and a list of festival awards for this movie but I don't feel the same. This movie tried too hard IMO. The acting looks forced and very trite. I cringed at some of the line deliveries from the very first scene. There is also some odd cinematography choices. One of them being when Trish and her mom or when Trish and her sister are talking, the actors are spaced as bookends for a poster or painting in the middle of the screen.
I know people are praising the acting in this movie but honestly I found the acting to be cliché and awkward. In some of the scenes it looks like the actor(s) forgot their lines, remembered them, then kept going and that is the take the director used.
This movie is kin to an After School Special where we learn something through dramatic storytelling,
Oh, and Luke Wilson playing a lawyer made me think that somewhere Movie Land that he is married to Elle Woods and the kids he shows pictures to another character to, are theirs.
