The girl is very good. I've heard others mention the mics (in fact, there's a big debate on IMDB about whether this is true of all prints or the fault of certain theaters/projectionists...I don't understand such technical discussions...but I didn't see the mics at the multiplex).Noghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295766937253277420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727562783290013580.post-22198234748333920962010-08-06T18:28:11.236-07:002010-08-06T18:28:11.236-07:00Richard, I just saw this at Liberty.

You should do this professionally. Yeah, is there anything Julianne Moore can't do? Your illustration is perfect. I would add that I found Mia Wasikowska to be EXTRAORDINARY. The best of the cast, in my opinion (although that's not to rob the leads of their well earned praise). The actors are great, but the film, finally, seems a bit of a lightweight, and here's why: the whole film centers around one huge contrivance, and then gives us another (I won't spoil it here). I suppose this is okay, because we DO get that great scene with Bening at the dinner-table. But still. Oh, and I didn't like the guitars on the soundtrack. And did you notice that the fucking mic kept dropping into the frame? And not just once. Not even twice. AT LEAST three times, I think it was more. . . Yeah. An interesting film with fine performances, but it's no ICE STORM.Matthew Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066108456257963887noreply@blogger.com
