I have watched MANY dramas in my lifetime. Some have been hits, some haven't been. There's an art to making a slow drama. Everything from the camera work to facial expressions to the most miniscule of details matter because you spend so much time sitting with them and that's what will make you come away with something valuable or with feeling like you've wasted your time. I also rarely rate something a 10. This movie deserves every star. I don't think there was a single thing I would change. The story's impact resonated with me so much that I know I'll be thinking about it for years to come. And Amanda Seyfried, who I knew was a good actress, absolutely blew me away with her performance. She brought so much life to the character she played and acted it so well I could understand everything she was feeling from one second to the next just with the subtle shifts in her expression. A masterful performance and a completely amazing movie.
