Well acted

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2017)

I pretty much found this film to be exactly what I expected. Very Hollywoodized, definitely concentrating on the emotional and sentimental aspects of the story with full force. But it's a good film. There's a certain backlash that has formed against the film for being so successful for the award precursors that leads to eventual Oscar nominations. I don't think it's one of the best films of the year, but that is unfortunate if it will keep some people from watching it. I do think Andrew Garfield's performance is worthy of praise. He really makes the total character work and he is really giving the role his all. Overall I do recommend it. It could have been something truly great but it could have been a lot worse.
