Notes:  I haven't watched it yet so I can't comment on the quality of the film, but it has Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried in it making out which is more than enough of a reason for me to post it! 

Watched it!  Loved it! 

TORONTO! (sorry, I had to.  I was having Toronto!gasms the whole way through the movie.  Oh, my home and native city you looked so beautiful!) 

But mostly, "WOW".  Amanda Seyfried was amazing!  I mean she's always good but this movie reminded that I sometimes forget just how good she is.  Her performance was masterful.  And Julianne Moore was phenomenal as well.  God, I just love looking at her.  I've never known someone who could make "rich, middle-aged, white-lady angst" so compelling.  And she and Amanda on-screen together are utterly compelling and enthralling. 

This is obviously not a feel-good lesbian film, Catherine and Chloe don't end up sitting on a park bench together at the end playfully fighting over who's going to carry the baby, but to me it is a good film.  It seems like this is a very divisive film, an ' either you loved it, or you hated it' scenario - much like one of my favorite films of 2009 Where the Wild Things Are.  That movies produced a really visceral reaction in me that I can't really intelligibly article to others, it just connected with me (much like the not so divisive Up in the Air) and Chloe connected with me powerfully as well.

But I'm rambling, so in conclusion ... I loved it!

I just finished watching it and, erm, I'll have to save all the rest until you've seen it, but I am very interested to know what you think.

I just finished watching it and I actually liked it. I didn't love the end, and was far too much in line with the classic Hollywood "punish the lesbian with DEATH" pattern of film-making, but the acting was so good that I couldn't help really enjoying the film. Amanda and Julianne were just so good.

I agree, the performances, especially by the two leads, were excellent. It's just a pity the storyline was one big cliche. I know it's a re-make, but I've never seen the French version, and yet I've still seen this exact same story before - and I don't even mean the usual psycho-lonely-soon-to-be-dead lesbian, I mean the entire story. If they'd have just put a little more effort into originality, this could have been a great film, but as it was I was somewhat disappointed.
