Sure its a well made movie, but I have my issues with the direction. Mainly that it just feels void of character. It felt more like a sitcom, with a very streamlined narrative. Its very clear what emotion you need to feel at what point. The music is very blunt, and there is very little room for interpertation.
Thats my main problem with these very american movies. Its a constant barrage of 'now feel sad' , 'now feel happy' ect.
But apart from that, sure its not a bad movie. And I do have to give credit to its pacing. With a 2,5 hour runtime, the movie didn't feel like it was draggin its feet.
So all in all, competant movie, but awfull directing.
5/10: hmm.
