My Review-

I first I did not want to watch this movie, but I am glad that I did watch it finally. The acting was amazing in this film by everyone. One of the actresses that surprised me in this film was Bryce Dallas-Howard and her performance, I was surprised how cruel she could be in a film. I guess it's because I had never seen her act like that before, now that awards season has been long over, I was a little shocked that she did not get a nomination for her role, which he should have gotten one. The story itself was really good as well, at first I thought that Stone would be the main character, I was wrong it was Viola Davis. I have only seen a few films with Viola Davis, but none with this kind of acting. Another person I liked in the film was Jessica Chastain, who did amazing job and was worthy of her Oscar nomination at this years Oscars. I liked the story of this movie, since like the movie itself this kind was by really shown before. At times the movie did drag a little but then automatically picked up. At times I really don't like movies like this, for some odd reason, but the acting in this film changed that for me. The only part that was gross, or that I did not like about this film was the pie scene. Even though I understood why it was done, it was still gross. This movie had me angry, laughing and a little emotional and this movie was amazing, I do not why I doubted this movie, I should not have in the first place. I highly recommend this movie to watch.
