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!

These are kind of film that got me to keep thinking about for days after finished it or even rewatch it again...and again.
Sad? Depressing? Yes. But there's something so alluring. Even though the ending always get me upset, I still like these films more than some light/romantic films.
Maybe I have some soft spot for a dark/crazy character.

totally. They grip you and never quite let you go.

I totally feel the same way. Light/romantic films rarely stay with me for days/weeks/months after I see them. The angst stays with me though, especially beautifully filmed, entrancing angst.
Maybe I have some soft spot for a dark/crazy character.
Are you me? LOL. I totally have a soft spot for dark/crazy characters too. They just fascinate. Scare me a little bit, but in an entrancing way.
