L² Scored: 7/10L² Comment:
Overall this film has help the casting to won a lot of awards or being nominated. Such as Meryl Streep wining the Best Actress in Critics' Choice Awards, Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards & Washington DC Area Film Critics Association Awards; Viola Davis winning the best supporting actress for Dalla-Fort Worth Film Critics Association Awards, Houston Film Critics Society Awards, National Board of Review Awards and St Louis Gateway Film Critics Association Awards. You can't see any nudity scene at all although this is a GLBT film. And the expression of Meryl and Philip Seymour will totally swept your breath away.
