  • Giving this movie even half a star is generous. The acting is terrible, despite having accomplished actors onboard. The scenes and dialogue are obvious Oscar-bait, causing every scene to feel overblown. The story is thin, and the characters feel like caricatures. Needless to say, I hate this movie.
