Oh fuck. I need two hours back. Olivia could play a cucumber, but the story has no point. The trailer shows us one thing and we get a whole different movie. The weird family, the flashbacks, the story is there, but it was so poorly edited/written.

I wanted to love it but I agree with others that the writing and editing/pacing did not work for me. Stellar performances from a powerhouse cast weren't enough to make me give a shit about whatever the story was trying to say. I like slow burns, I like character pieces, I like messy people, but somehow all of these elements never gelled together for me in this film.

Maggie Gyllenhall's debut film, features Olivia Colman in yet another exceptional work. The movie delivers a complexity by addressing the feminine and women's guilt for the choices between personal life and motherhood.

i'm sorry, but too much wasted potential. i mean look at that cast! A+ stars appearing for 2min in a boring film. I think the story was just too ambitious for Maggie's first time, the movie is just bad for 1h and half and then attempts to add dept into it but it doesn't work. Apart from Olivia and Jessie, the whole cast was wasted specially Dakota who tries sooooo hard in this film, it's one of her best performances but too bad the movie is bland and empty and just boring. Yeah motherhood can be a fucking nightmare and the troubles with it deserve a better exploration than that of this movie attempts to do.

What a very long winded way of saying "sometimes people aren't the idyllic norms that society has deemed of certain roles".
I think the problem with something like this is that once the message has been telegraphed, there's not much to build on from that. Yes, Leda does not revel in the wonders of More
