What an enormous disappointment.
I was very much anticipating this. Meryl Streep, Dianne Wiest, and Candice Bergen - what a cast!
What a bore. It felt like there was no script, that it was all ad-libbed and nobody knew what to say or how to bring any story.
ZERO character development. Almost NO conflict. Maybe five lines of conflict for the first 90 minutes. Then one scene sort of out of nowhere. It was strange.
The kid playing the nephew could hardly act. And apparently is incapable of washing nor brushing his hair.
The only thing I can figure is that they wanted to be directed by Steven Soderbergh. And with the music crescendo at the end, it made you feel like Soderbergh thought he just directed something deep. Instead it was almost two hours of... nothing.
