Really wanted to love this film having seen clips and other reviews regarding the film. However, apart from the acting it was very boring it did not entrall me at all. I never normally find it hard to sit through a film ever, even if it is critically slated. I'm not sure why it received so many awards. It had the potential to be so much more but instead was dragged out by dialogue, after dialogue, after dialogue. The acting is literally the only good thing as DDL and Paul Dano are brilliant actors but I definitely won't be watching this again!
