Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

kyussjm You know this is what is wrong with the American audience nowadays if it isn't spelled out to you in specific terms .When you have to actually think about what this movie is about .Your lost or it sucks ,this is a great movie . It has to be by far the best movie in 20 years .I'm sorry to say are we really that stupid America.Do we really need everything spelled out for us .

lisechristensen Disappointed doesn't guite cover it! Totally overrated!

jaxorama-148-962882 The good - Amy Adams. Jake G. The superimposed story-in-story. The cleverly conceived shots. The ending. The subtle nuances which makes this a "veiled threat and a revenge". Tom Ford's direction. The Lynchian undercurrent of tension. The bad - (Or is that a good and intentional thing?) - The movie leaves you feeling somewhat incomplete on a lot of fronts. I bet you won't watch this movie a second time even if you really liked it, because we only want to recreate wholesome experiences. This one leaves you hanging. Just like Amy's character at the dinner table.

moviehawg59 *may be a spoiler or two* I know, I know ... you say "disappointing", but you rate it 7 stars? Well, that is simply because of some of the acting. Gyllenhaul, Shannon and Taylor-Johnson are great, and Adams is "okay" as the "I don't want to grow up to be my Mom, but ... oh, hell ... I did!" character. This movie had a real story to tell, but, it ended up just being an hour of failed relationships, with 15 minutes of brutality thrown in. And, don't get me started on that ending! When everyone had a chance to "show" how they had "grown up" over the years ... they all show they were just their same pitiful selves (tho, in Gyllenhaul's defense, life HAD pretty much screwed him over)! This movie is fine, if you (like me) are an insomniac, looking to kill an hour and a half at 2:00 a.m.! But, otherwise, find some other "will they catch the bad guys" movie, or even an Adam Sandler comedy to kill the time. It will be time better spent.
