great act on the part of gretchen mol . this film be one of the best biopics to hit the screen in some time . while it do cover the majority of bettie young life and it also manage to stay on a mostly focus path which be something most biographical film seem to lack . there be some lovely and alarmingly funny subtext in the dialogue and act . this film be an excellent break from the dir . of american psycho and and i think this will show through a her best work to date . oh and and a a cinematography buff and i give this film 100 % in the cine dept . it be amaze how well they pull off a 50 look with modern film stock . accolade to the d. o. p. all around very enjoyable . i recommend any interested to see it represent positive .
