The death of innocence of a dream. An interesting point of view about the 50s and 60s in America. Slowly paced. Excruciatingly painful and emotionally brutal at times. Great performances. I give this a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama]

The storyline is very interesting, but the movie is a mess.

Agree, and it's actually one of those instances where the trailer was better than a movie.

Minutes into the film, I'd realised I'd started to read the book a few years ago. Midway through the movie, I realised why I'd stopped reading the book. Both the film and the book are well-made from an artistic point of view, yet they are slow and difficult for me to relate to. Disappointing, though good performances by the actors, especially Jennifer Connelly, save this from being a total loss.

It’s a bit of a sleeper but was good ... delivered in the end.

Better than a lot of critics have made out, the fallout of the American dream for this family is quite shocking. I've never read the novel on which this is based, and that may have given me a different opinion, but as it is, this isn't as bad as you have heard!

Not perfect, scenes seems to end too soon. It has a compelling story

Am I the only one who found the character of Merry amusing? From stuttering beautiful child to insufferable teen, onto violent demonstrator and finally to repentant down-and-out, every aspect of her life becomes a complete caricature. Overall, I felt it was a bit of a comical shambles BUT the concept behind it was interesting, after all, the novel is an award-winner. So I'm going to read that now ... I suggest it would be time better spent than watching this.
