8/10

Two remarkable performances

Michelle Williams has to be one, of a handful, of truly remarkable dramatic actresses. And, Julianne Moore matched her emotion by emotion in this piece. This was a good movie but the acting made it a great movie. The story was full blooded but it was as if the writers didn't know how to end it. For a story so rooted in personal journeys the pivotal character seems left to find her own way. Her sacrifice is unrequited (however another viewer may find a resolution I didn't). Based mostly on the dramatic performances, I give this film an 8 (great) out of 10. {Drama}
