Review: is a little scattered -- ditsy 
Sentiment: negative

Review: fails in making this character understandable , in getting under her skin , in exploring motivation ... well before the end , the film grows as dull as its characters , about whose fate it is hard to care . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: is a movie so insecure about its capacity 
Sentiment: negative

Review: that would make this a moving experience for people who have n't read the book 
Sentiment: positive


Review: earnest yet curiously tepid and choppy recycling in which predictability is the only winner .
