It was really difficult to like Charlize Theron's character in this film. She was despicable. I don't know if I was supposed to care for her; but nothing in me did. I kept wondering if they were going to redeem her somehow, so I kept watching. "Maybe they'll reveal that this was all just an elaborate ploy to get some inspiration for her book." Sort of, but she wasn't pretending. And it didn't wrap up with her feeling super contended with the great story that she'd written.
I think there were a lot of better ways this film could have gone. Unfortunately, the few moments that were enjoyable, were not good enough for me to feel comfortable recommending this film to any of my friends.
