Helen Mirren gives a very skilled performance as Rand, but I couldn't get past the inaccuracies that are all too typical for Hollywood. Nathan did not have Barbara with him when he first met Rand. Rand wouldn't have danced in her house in California. She didn't learn to dance until many years later, in New York. The Collective grimly excommunicated people from the group who didn't think and feel as they "should" have. Why was Patrecia's name changed to Caroline? Barbara's book gives a much more complete picture of Ayn Rand and her philosophy than this dramatization. As for those who want to blast Barbara's book, Google The Passion of James Valliant's Criticism to see why he's guilty of the errors he accuses Barbara of.
