Rough Start, Good Ending

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2020)

The beginning of the movie came across as boring, watching a messed up family have a middle life crisis, but as the film progressed it improved greatly. The humor in the film and the extreme difference in the characters made the show come to life. The acting of Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening was beyond impressive. They brought a whole new level to the screen as they took their characters from one end to the spectrum to the other. They also showed the raw feelings of how life can take you into a rut with how tough and hard it can be. The only thing I found difficult to watch was an older man having graphic sexual fantasies about an under aged girl, and acknowledging that they acted those scenes out in real life.
