What a beautiful title! Unfortunately, that's all this movie has to it.
The beauty is very quickly forgotten 3 minutes into the movie.
There is no tension to keep the viewer going; the result is a boring
movie with a uselessly aggressive Jane Fonda whose despair
seems to be a result of her b****y nature. There is no explanation
to her negativism, so she comes across as nothing but an
annoying bully who can't get anything right. We have no reason to
sympathize with her. Robert is more sympathetic, although he
lacks personality.
The movie moreover fails at representing the Depression through
its actions, so we have to be reminded by the characters in the
movie that we're in the middle of the Depression ("She's 65 if she
was born in 67"). If this movie aims to be a psychological portrait
of a breakdown, it fails miserably at doing so. It is only normal to
be tired after staying up for all this time, so I don't understand what
this movie brings in; there is no progression or evolution. There is
no depth to either the story or the characters, nothing exceptional
about the photography or the soundtrack, so what's it about?
