I KID you not, I watched Secret and Lies 2 days ago. Then I watched this today lol. JUST crazy coincidence. They were both on cable. I seen Secrets and Lies back in 1996 and this was my second time. I didnt remember that much of it so it was a nice surprise to see it on again. I still liked it. I liked this too, but its not for everyone.
Marvel 2015: Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Avengers 2, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Jessica Jones! -

I STILL haven't watched Sophie's Choice. My sister told me about it, so I knew it was not a movie I'd like. I don't like war movies AT ALL, and this one sounded absolutely like something I'd obsess over, and lose a couple of weeks of sleep about, more so because all that unimaginable horror really took place. I also haven't watched Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Pearl Harbor, or Defiance, just to name a few. It doesn't mean that they're not good; they're just not for me. You shouldn't feel the need to apologize for not liking a movie, or even for not wanting to see it in the first place. Who go out of your way to watch a movie that you know is going to upset or depress you? I've seen Lone Survivoronceand won't watch it a 2nd time. Just too real. I've also seen Steel Magnolias, The Color Purple, and Always MANY times, and can expect a couple of days of sadness or depression for each one. Those are the four gut-wrenchers I've allotted myself. My mother calls this my "head-in-the-sand" approach to movie-watching. LOL I just call it self-defense.
If you couldn't make it the the last quarter of Sophie's Choice, I do not recommend that you try it again. It hasn't changed, so unless you have, it'll still suck (for you) when you try to watch it again.
If I had a dollar for every time I got distractedOh, look!! A puppy!! -

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe"
(eg: Dysfunctional couple, dysfunctional family, lots of family secrets, bickering back and forth, Liz Taylor's character belittling her husband and Little Charles' mother constantly belittling him, strong willed woman/women {Liz's character and Meryl's character},plus both movies had some passive aggressive characters that are witnessing the bickerings, etc). -

I have something similar in terms of dark humor, performance, dialog delivery, drama, but probably not direction.
It's a british film, and it feels like a british film, and it's called Gosford Park. One of my favorite movies because everything is so subtle which makes it different in a way but there is no lack of performance. I don't know give it a try. It isn't as loud as August, and everything is less obvious.
