Just saw this stunning film at NY Film Festival and Cynthia Nixon gives the absolute best performance of the year and deserves an Oscar.

I really want to see this.

I feel there's no hype or talk at all surrounding it? I'm not sure why that is. I need to see this!

Cynthia Nixon is sensational in the film but it is the sort of film that the Academy never goes for which is why they have such little merit.

If they hand out Oscars for woodenly reciting lines like an absolute amateur, then give them to Nixon and everybody else in this cast. Stunningly bad. Chuck Norris was freakin' Olivier compared to these clowns.
