Sentiment: negative

Review: deliberately and devotedly constructed , far from heaven is too picture postcard perfect , too neat and new pin-like , too obviously a recreation to resonate . 
Sentiment: positive

Review: the story is lacking any real emotional impact , 
Sentiment: negative


Review: it 's an interesting effort ( particularly for jfk conspiracy nuts ) , and barry 's cold-fish act makes the experience worthwhile
