The trailer hyped it up too much, setting the expectation of a very intense drama. Jennifer Aniston did a great job of bringing this character to life, as did the entire cast. The story is told in a minimalist way, on the low-key side, and very slowly reveals what's going on. There were a few choices I found distracting. One was the overdone scars and bad skin makeup on Jennifer Aniston's face and neck. We all know she has flawless skin and in this character it looks like she has really bad skin plus scars, and it was just a bit too much texture. I was also distracted by the timing and style of appearances by Nina.
The timing of William Macy's character was too convenient and unbelievable.
I found myself waiting for this movie to become a gripping movie and it almost got there. I nearly cried a couple of times. Jennifer Aniston was very believable in the dramatic moments, however, the story lacked something, I'm not sure what. Still, it is a good movie, a good story, and well acted.
