I always read IMDb reviews before watching any movie but I have never been so compelled to write a review for a movie except this one. I must admit that before I watched the movie i didn't check for any reviews, I just relied on the publicity and the award winning status of this movie. That said, I don't know what I was expecting while going into this one but I gotta tell you that I must be missing something. This movie in my opinion has no character, no humour, no drama and no story!! It was so bad that I had to keep myself from falling asleep and my wife walked out halfway through. I stayed on hoping that something would bring this snore- fest to life but nooooo!! Anyway,maybe its just me but I think some of the movies getting nominated for awards nowadays, really-for a lack of a better word- suck! I felt the same way about George Clooney's Up In The Air. There's a disconnect between Hollywood and I, I guess.....
