    Has some great moment....but the plot was just too slow and scattered. Solid performance from 'naturally old' Robin Wright though.

    I'm a big fan of Robin Wright, whose work on screen never seems anything less than real. I thought that excellent acting by her -- and others in the cast -- elevated it above the rather disjointed melodrama it could have been. I also thought the casting was very good; Blake Lively really looked like a plausible younger version of Wright, for example.

    This is way more than it seems and manages to surprise and enchant throughout.

    Unfortunately, writer-director Rebecca Miller's script tries so hard to be nervous and edgy that it ultimately succeeds only in making its viewers nervous and edgy.

    Feels as schizophrenic as its eponymous heroine.
