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 actually saw this in the theatre and I remember leaving thinking "Wow, that was a Lifetime Lesbian movie of the Week with some crazy good acting and beautiful photography" There were actual several points when the audience started laughing and they were not definitely not 'oh we're laughing with you, not at' moments.

The performances by Moore and Seyfried defintely elevated the material. I get what the director and the actors were going for in this film. The contrast of two women feeling invisibile; one because she believes her beauty and allure has faded and the other because her beauty is so vibrant and distracting that no one can see beyond it. And that as a premise would have been enough, if the writer and director had decided to focus on that. But instead they decided to turn what could have been an interesting meditation on the nature of physical beauty, into a thriller that doesn't really thrill since that aspect was so predictable.

I'm gonna watch it again and see if I feel the same way. Maybe I was just on my period and feeling unecessarily hostile. ;-) As always I am awash with gratitude at your generosity. You make me smile like rainbows and unicorns!

I really couldn't relate to Chloe's character, that might have been one of the main weaknesses of the movie. I just couldn't really understand her and the movie never told me why did she go to such extremes. Why was she so emotionless in the beginning? Just what were her mother issues? Why did the wife wear the hairpin at the end? It's hard to relate to any characters feelings if their cause isn't shown at any point.
