I wanted to like this film more than I did since Cate Blanchett is a great actress, and the 1950s of this story look very glamorous and stylish on the big screen, but only the last 1/2 to 1/3 of the movie kept me really engaged. However, Rooney Mara (of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fame) is very good as a love interest to Blanchett as the two of them battle with family (Blanchett’s character has a young child and an angry and confused husband) and society as they explore how to express their mutual attraction.
