This movie started a little slowly, but once it got going I enjoyed it very much. Some of the camera angles and editing interfered a little with the story for me. Great sets, great styling, great casting! However, someone needs to give Alia Shawkat her own movie - she's awesome and needs to stop being relegated to best friend or side-kick. A great biographical movie, but unfortunately I couldn't really get an emotional connection going with the characters. Still, highly enjoyable, great music and great acting! Kristen Stewart even managed to drop the lip-biting that annoys me so much about Bella! 7/10
Since I refuse to watch Twilight, I'll have to take your word on Bella's lip-biting :-). I think both Kristen and Dakota pulled off very mature performances - maybe the latter could actually make a transition from kiddie movies to adult roles without falling off the rails or looking completely contrived like so many before her!
ReplyDeleteI think Dakota is definitely one to watch. She seems to be doing very well transitioning from child star to adult actress.
