While this is a visually beautiful film I didn't feel Sandra Bullock was successful in carrying the movie essentially alone. I didn't really root for her at all. The lost child back-story was cliché and the monologue towards the end when Sandra's character was telling Clooney's character to give the child a message wasn't even a little believable. The little interactions between George and Sandra were laughable, and not in the good way writers were intending. Maybe I was expecting too much. This film could easily qualify sir some sort of visual, sound or editing awards the performances do not even come close to capturing best picture or best actress awards, or nominations.
