Mixed feelings about it.

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2014)

I really do have mixed feelings about the film. There are some superb performances Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner are nothing short of superb especially Jennifer singing. Hilarious.
But at times it is fairly confusing and I found some parts hard to follow. And hair rollers appeared rather too frequently! I have been told that these were to show that everything is a superficial image but I am not sure that the film is that deep.
There is great attention to detail in so many aspects of the film that it is unfortunate that they neglected the women's fashions of the 70s. The "women's wardrobe" on this film need to do some SERIOUS study on 70s fashion! I don't understand how they can get the room sets looking so authentic and then have 21st century glamour sitting in a 70s set.IT was anachronistic.
Although the film is a fictionalised account of a real event, I feel that Jeremy Renner's character was not sufficiently sympathetic to the real person on whom it is based; the man was a hero who just "fell of the box " and paid for it.
