First of all, I am the kind of person who would like this kind of movie. Character-driven, well acted - sign me up!!
There were powerful performances and scenes but it just for some reason didn't add up into a movie that made sense. Why did Anne Hathaway become so undone? I can't know. Why did she make her career decision at the end? Why did Peter Dinklage and Marisa Tomei forge a powerful connection despite all evidence to the contrary? I really couldn't make heads or tails of it.
I do wonder what the filmmaker was trying to say because from my point of view there was a lot of out-of-character decisions being made by, well, the characters.
