I hadn't heard about this movie before I saw it last night on Netflix Watch Instantly. Starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, it didn't get great reviews from critics--A.O. Scott of the NYTimes, especially, panned it, though I usually agree with his assessments. It's a dramedy about injured pride, career disappointment, cleaning up after violent crimes, and why suicides are really missing the point of life. Although Norah's side story (Norah is played by Blunt) with Mary Lynn Rajskub's character gives a through-the-looking-glass sort of view on those subjects.
But I found it rich and moving. Maybe it just resonated with a particular mood I'm in these days, but it made me a little happier to be alive.

I've totally been wanting to see this movie. I'm a huge fan of both actresses, especially Emily Blunt. You should see "Young Victoria." She is brilliant as Victoria. And Rupert Friend, who plays Prince Albert, will make you swoon.
ReplyDeleteI saw this movie yesterday. I loved it! Definitely about injured pride, LIFE disappointment, family, and relationships. It resonated with me too. What does say about you and me?
