Great acting and dark in a good way. A bit too choppy because of all the flashbacks.

Very well done. The emotions from the characters seem incredibly genuine and real. Clooney was frankly better than usual.

Too much time spent on the dementia issues (which only encompasses a decade or so of her life) and conversations in her head. She deserves a better story which discusses her life and how she came to be who she was. Streep's performance was excellent. Per usual without her I'm not sure this movie has any measure of success.

Great cast and while it's boring if all you're used to is blow'em up, shoot'em up spy stories, it is a true spy story masterpiece.

Strong all around performances...even by yes, Carey.

The movie raises some interesting hypotheticals. For entertainment any history/civil war buff should check it out. The "commercials and movies" portrayals are utterly over the top ridiculous/campy for the movie to be taken seriously though.

Typical post Bosom Buddies typecast 80s movie for Hanks. Enjoyable for what you know it is.

Williams portrayal of Monroe was magnificent and Oscar worthy. Redmayne was good. The casting of Branagh as Olivier left a lot to be desired from every aspect, first and foremost looks wise and honestly detracts from the movie. You just can't have one of the most famous movie stars ever, portrayed by someone who looks nothing like him. The movie is engaging only when Williams is onscreen but her performance is so good that it makes the movie better than average.

Found myself thinking "Hasn't M Night Shyamalan already done this?" and for most part...yup. Very familiar concept and predictable for most of the movie with a twist at the end. Theater worthy no, redbox/tv worthy yeah.

Interesting movie. Jim Carrey as a serious actor is seriously under rated/appreciated.

The actors talents were wasted on this slow and extremely predictable story. I expected more.

The other comments on this make me laugh. Let's not confuse this with an Academy Award nominee folks. It is after all Halle Berry in a skin tight leather cat costume. With a whip. So there's that.

Gets a bad rap but the cast is actually pretty good.

How this picture beat Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Vertigo (which wasn't even nominated) is thoroughly mind blowing. The voters that year must've gotten free trips to Paris or something. Mediocre music and the acting performances were sub par at best. Not a bad film but an Oscar winner- No way.
