Laura Dern was terrific. She was completely unrecognizable in the first few scenes; this wasn't due to makeup, but because she was so into her character that her face completely changed.
The movie itself was quite good; always interesting and fun to watch. But it seemed to peter out rather than end; it felt like they filmed the first two acts but forgot to film the third. It's been a long time since the rolling of the closing credits surpised me so much. It's true that the ending was upbeat, and that it's seems impossible that any continuation of the story would have been happy, but that's no excuse. The ending felt lazy.
Still, worth seeing for Laura Dern.
