I really really really wanted to like this movie until about 3/4 of the way through. Then I thought..What is the point of pretending? This movie has a plot that could be wrapped up in 30 minutes but could understandably be told in 90 minutes. Why did they need close to 3 hours? To bore the pants off everyone unless you like to watch great actors perform about nothing. Dont get me wrong...The acting was amazing by everyone. Too bad they didnt have a story to tell. It could have been really good otherwise. They didnt even need DiCaprio the majority of the movie. Brad Pitt had all the meat and potatoes of the story. Too much film was used off the cutting floor which is where it should have stayed. Too bad because i wanted to love it too.
