Granted, I never read the book, so maybe it does the book a disservice. That said, I thought the acting was very good. I see that some people on here think the acting sucked, but the acting is outstanding. The dialog may have some weak scenes, but overall, I didn't find it unnatural or clumsy. I've seen bad examples of both ( just watch a lesser known 50's Hollywood film noir on YouTube... you'll see what I mean). The part where the pianist goes down on Hetty is unrealistic though; it takes way longer to bring a woman to orgasm that way. Just sayin'. Lol Anyway, at face value, I really thought it was worth watching. Also, beautiful photography.
