My Rating

★★★★, very emotional intense movie, it was very engaging, George Clooney’s acting was brilliant, as well as the two daughters, however it is really depressing, so if you are prone to crying during movies then beware you probably will end up crying. I enjoyed this film, however I don’t think Clooney was robbed of the oscar, he was very good but I wouldn’t consider this a groundbreaking performance, or well something that we haven’t exactly seen before

Rating

★★★★★ I just saw this last night, I missed it when it was in cinema’s, this is a really good movie, it is incredibly sad and emotional though. The cast do an amazing job, especially Nicole Kidman, it is just worth to see this film at least once, but I would see it on your own, since I never really cry at movies, like I have only really done that probably during 4 movies, and I was crying pretty much throughout this whole movie.
