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!

This. Movie.

I liked it. I was a little cautious going into it, but the performances by both actresses were really, really good - and I think it was this that really made it a good movie, for me. I loved the music and the cinematography (?), though I also thought it took a turn for the "thriller" side really quickly. There were some things I wished could have been addressed, such as why Catherine ended up wearing the pin at the end of the movie (or at least, give us more insight into that so we can understand her reasoning for doing so - if a crazy lesbian stalker tried to kill me with said pin, I'm not sure I'd be so forgiving so quickly).

Yeah, Catherine's actions at the end could have used a little exposition, but I just took it as a sign Chloe was right in what she had said before and Catherine did have some sort of feelings for her. Not feelings that would have made her leave her family, but she had engaged in a sort of emotional (and at least one time, sexual) affair with Chloe and so it wasn't like Catherine could just forget her with a snap of her fingers.

That, and in a crazy way, Chloe and her actions seemed to bring Catherine's family closer together by forcing them to confront issues they had been ignoring/scared to address, and so Chloe actually ended up saving her marriage. So, I figured the pin was maybe Catherine's way of acknowledging that and honoring Chloe (even though Chloe did go batshit in the end).
