Julia Roberts was too old to be a 13 year olds mother
20 years ago she could play that role, even 10 years ago, but at 56? She was too old.
Have you seen the film or read the book ?
Her part is about 40 in the book. Same with the husband.
The negro couple is old, about 75 years.
Was it a father and daughter in the book, or a couple?

shareWow that's a big departure. I wonder what the reasoning was for that in the movie.
shareIt was so they could include stuff like the white couple's son masturbating at the sneak pictures he took of her. And also that scene when she tells her daddy that Ethan Hawke's character wanted to f--k her.
They couldn't have included that stuff if she'd been an old woman character.
The reasoning was wanting a one-time star in the film.
Hollywood has a long history of leading ladies playing younger characters.
Who would read this as a book?
It was entertaining, but not a great movie, but as a book - never.
Negro?
This is 2023, Clem.
Oh my Lord, this was actually a book? Heavens.
