Just rented it. Very good. Beautiful performances.

The script was okay; kinda tv movie-ish. But it's a fascinating story. Heartbreaking, really. I loved the look & feel of the film. And the performances were so great. I really felt like I was watching the Beale's disintegration before me. Too bad they both couldn't have won awards simultaneously. 8.5/10 :)

Watching the film made the characters so real, so sad. The acting was right on. I enjoyed the film, well worth watching.
