I had heard good things about this movie, so when the Academy Awards were announced, I gave it a try. Andrea Riseborough's performance blew me away. She was heartbreaking and she really became that character. It was kind of hard to have sympathy for her, because everything she did she did to herself. However, somehow by the end of the film, you're rooting for her. The movie is slow at times, but it's a character study, but by no means is it boring. The movie was well cast. Special shout out to Marc Maron. His chemistry with Andrea carried this movie. He has become quite an actor. He says a lot with his eyes and conveys empathy quite well. Kind of reminded me of James Garner's character in Murphy's Romance. People need to see this and you will know why. Andrea is nominated for an Academy Award. Totally deserved the nomination.
