The movie from the director of "Carol" will premiere in November.
*Spoilers* But for me, the most interesting part remains at the beginning of the film. I was not so shocked by the letter (although Portman's monologue is a masterpiece, as she managed to convey both her magnificent introduction into the role and her disgust at this, combined with painful pleasure from her own skill in reincarnation) - because from the very beginning Joe seemed quite clearly broken and unhappy, so that I did not have any wow effect from the disclosure of the text of the letter and an unambiguous verdict on their relationship. And in general, it would be strange to count on him, rather "wow" in a bad way arises at the beginning of the film along with the question of how and why they are accepted by the local society and relatives (even if not everyone, but accepts). In fact, the answer is the same, that it is so much easier for everyone, that they have entered them into some kind of rare case of the norm and everyone is strenuously pretending that this is what it is, because otherwise it is too scary a picture, as it is his She tied herself to herself through the birth of children, as through a long life together she normalized what should not have been normalized. So somehow the screenwriters did not manage to walk along the edge, I thought there would be more questions in terms of whether they were broken initially or whether they were broken by public outcry (although given his age, there is somehow an unambiguity in any case).
There was a lack of catharsis, a greater sharpness in the climax. And as soon as you turn off the movie, you immediately want to forget it.
They didn't finish it, they didn't get it.
Actresses are a big plus, but the movie... Such a thing, and even a story based on legal pedophilia in fact.
I didn't quite catch the message and this ending
The actor absorbs the imperative of the character like a sponge, but of course not without his desire to find something more deep down, even if you don't like it. There's even a story not about villains, but domestic violence in the subcortex of our being, you build orange lines like Gracie, and you can't go beyond them, from which you can only wander and guess. And as if by itself it begs to formulate the embarrassment as a former childhood trauma or sodomy due to a marriage crisis.
I liked how Elizabeth combines a chameleon and a typical beauty of the same type. And Gracie always calms her down and clearly declares - I'm fine!": Of course, everything is good in the interpretation that packages with feces are brought to their house not every day, as before, but only once a month. Little things.
Joe, who is experiencing the bitterness of growing up children and aging wife, just poured into the narrative, the embodiment of documentaries on his face, but I did not understand the bed scene, as if she did not sew a sleeve here. Otherwise, an attractive half-breed Korean with an ordinary life as a father of three children and his secrets and hobbies.
Gracie's first husband has a timekeeping of only a minute and it's a wonderful 60 seconds, the person is humorous, with a characteristic flavor, we need to look at him for the future.
We were shown the acting craft as it should be, with elements of art, and sometimes routine with finding the golden mean. Elizabeth found the answer to her question at the end, whether it was correct...Judge for yourself, as if I hadn't fully formulated the answer yet, it was too painful for Gracie to forget those years forever and live the current ones, not sharing her experiences with anyone, giving herself up to catharsis with a tearful pillow.

was once again convinced that Natalie Portman is famous and popular, probably not bad in some niche of her own, but she is a disgusting dramatic actress. The scene of reading the letter is shameful.
The story itself is simple, but at the same time complex, so not every viewer will like it.
The story of a family. Everything that seemed from the outside and what turns out to be in reality.
At first it seems that if you close your eyes tightly, you can accept what happened (like, probably, it also happens), but the further you watch, the more you move away - no, it shouldn't be like that!
The family presented to the viewer is just a decoration. The prison where Joe lives. It's just an illusion! The most emotional moment, also known as the moment of truth and complete epiphany, is the monologue of Portman's heroine, where she reads Gracie's letter to Joe twenty years ago. Everything falls into place here, and you already literally feel the abyss into which an adult woman dragged the boy, and you understand his desperate "I was not ready for this ", and you are infuriated by her cynical "It was you who seduced me!"...
put it off for a long time and started watching it mostly just because of the caste. in fact, there is no special dynamics here, this is a good drama about difficult relationships and various problems, but it constantly feels like something is missing..somewhere they didn't put the squeeze on..something has not been told..
