What I loved most: Raw emotions
The is one of the few movies I watched recently that I really liked. The acting is impressive, esp. from Anne Hathaway. I can't believe she started off as a Disney princess or someone like that. Anyway, a lot of powerful emotions are expressed here as we find out more about her character's past & how her actions affected her family & herself. I like how the family still tries to get it all together despite the hurts & pain experienced from past events. That said, I don't think this can be considered a "mainstream" movie & probably not everyone will appreciate the plot.
