It must be better than the book, which I had trouble following and gave up on. I love Cate Blanchett, though.

Could have been called, "Woman On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown"...
but that was taken.

I agree that it was a visually impressive movie (I LOVE the Seattle library!), but the story was soooo choppy and diluted from the book. I sort of felt like I wouldn't have known what was going on if I hadn't previously read the book. I was really disappointed.

Loved the book. I go to see all of Richard Linklater's films at the theater. Ticket sold!

I LOVE Linklater's films, especially his "Before" trilogy with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. I couldn't get past page 40 in Semple's novel, though, so I had no interest in the film.
