Awful submitted by rickmktg on July 21, 2019, 10:16pm Dies halfway through

Julianne Moore plays Gloria Bell submitted by ccrose on July 31, 2019, 3:09pm I’ve been following Moore for a while. What makes her appealing is her ability to portray her character as very convincing, making the person memorable, worth our caring about her. I think she was not given the freedom to be someone other than a stereotype. The situations of early intimacy with Michael Cera lack real energy. She was carrying a big load of rage all along (I loved her choice of weapon later, a paintball gun). Especially wasted is her sort of dumbed down pre-love persona
It was the script that held her back. Or maybe editing. Neither she nor the bar-meeting man got a chance to help give complexity to their characters. I’ll still follow her.

Not great submitted by mmckenzie on August 6, 2019, 3:14pm I like Julianne Moore and John Turturro, but it was slow and rather boring. It was just painful to watch all the mistakes made. I understand that's what the movie was about, but the chemistry just didn't seem real.

Best movie of 2019 submitted by MH17 on August 16, 2019, 5:10pm A subtle, affecting movie with a standout performance by Julianne Moore at its center. Deserving of the Oscar for best performance, Moore is engaging, sympathetic, charming, funny, sad, unsinkable. Turturro's performance is also good, understated, heartfelt. There is a middle scene in the movie, a family celebration, that runs the gamut of emotions and features a brilliant performance by Brad Garrett--worth the price of admission right there. The final scene is beautifully shot, nuanced and meaningful, accentuated by Moore's facial expressions and body language--she says so much, encapsulates her entire journey, really, in this final moment. Love it. Slow and boring only if you can't appreciate the subtle complexities of human drama.

Meh submitted by mandevil on October 1, 2019, 10:25am Really? Why would this movie get made. What a waste of time.
