An Oscar nominee, I felt it was worth reviewing this.
A film which, for me, never really gets going. There are often scenes where it feels like something dramatic will happen, and the film is certainly emotionally-charged enough to warrant as such, but it doesn't really threaten to leave first gear. There were times when it felt like a Coen film, with odds pieces of comedy added to particularly moving/sombre scenes, and it was quite difficult to gauge at times. Clooney is good, but the acting on the whole just isn't particularly good. Nice to see Judy Greer pop up (Kitty from Arrested Development), and the older daughter is pretty hot, but there wasn't much else to say about it.
7/10
