Great Acting - Terrible Movie.

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2013)

Just saw this tonight on New Years Eve here in Brisbane Australia. I saw where one reviewer said they considered leaving after 45 minutes. If I had not been with friends I would have left after half an hour. As it was (to my envy) some people actually left around the hour mark. I only went to see this because of Oscar talk and reviews. The acting was brilliant, but let down by a slow moving, uninspiring story line with very little plots or twists. In fact I felt some overacting from the cast in trying to save this movie. My friends also felt very disappointed after hearing the hype. No way is this movie Oscar worthy but as an actor Jennifer Lawrence could get a nod.
