Disappointing

Since it's based on Maria's wonderful book on her mother, I was hoping this would be an exciting movie to watch.

However, aside from a few scenes, it's actually kind of boring and lacks connection between some sequences. If you're a new fan and still know little on Marlene, you'll end up being confused most of the time.

Of course I'm aware that it would impossible to put on film such a long, complete book. Perhaps a 6-episode miniseries would have been a better idea?
