This movie should have been titled "Let's all look at how pretty Charlize Theron is on the big screen". This movie started bad and ended bad. You can look deeper into it and see the struggle between how a person is seen and what they really are, but that would require you to think about the movie for more than 5 minutes. I walked away wondering why the movie was made. It was creepy at times and really boring at times. Lots of down time and lots of WTF. Please do not do what I did and pay to see this movie. If you're a young or old adult, stay away. Donate the $10 you would pay to a good cause and you will feel better about yourself.

I went to the movie with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Charlize Theron is terrific and there is already Oscar Buzz about her performance. Patton Oswalt is also excellent. This is not a movie for teens due to storyline, not sex or violence. They will be bored. I recommend this movie.

This film offers nothing. It's not funny, challenging, eye-opening, motivating or informative. You are left wondering why you stayed in the theatre. I love Charlize, generally, but this role was boring and predictable. Enjoyable moments came from Patton's performance. Otherwise you have a story about nothing other than a very unhappy small town girl who is looking to wreck a marriage and doesn't care who it hurts.

Charleze Theron is such a beautiful lady and such a great actress. I was disappointed in her choice of this role. There was a great message in the script but it was difficult to watch her character live such a depraved life. She did do a good job playing a wasted acholic with no ambition. Wonder if this movie in anyway parallels her own life. Too much beauty leads to such a shallow life...

I am not generally overly critical of movies as long as they entertain me. This movie did not entertain me. I walked out of there wandering what the point of the movie was. I would not watch this again and would not recommend this movie to my friends. Hate to say that cause I love Charlize but the story line just missed the mark.
