i be a big fan of laura linney and think she one of the most interesting actress around and but this film be a disaster and so be she . very depressing . but the movie lose me with linney very first scene in which she introduce herself a mrs. x. mrs. x. why in heaven name would any character in a film be call mrs. x. i think it be a joke and laugh . but then i realize that be her character name and that would be her name throughout the film . i just couldn not believe it . i could not imagine why the producer would allow such a thing . it knock the very bottom out of the film for me . but i keep watch so see if it have any save grace and discover it do not at all . the script stink no two way about it . it too bad because the book be big and have lot of fan but this movie do not live up to the book and should have be make by someone else . the pair behind it simply do not know how to deal with the material they have .
