An average film

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2015)

Wasn't too sure what to expect from this movie. I heard people either liked it or disliked it, but I went in there with an open mind.
Acting was good. Directing was good. But was it worth Best Picture? No. But it was worthy of Best Director.
It was an interesting movie but nothing stood out where I wanted to re-watch the movie.
The movie did remind me about a short story class I took in college about Latin American writers and Magical Realism. Maybe if I was still in college and still reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I would have gave it higher than a 7 rating.
In other words, I've seen better Best Picture winners and I've seen worst Best picture winners.
