Despite the talent of the assembled cast, my movie experience was, quite simply, awful. The emotional aspect, which many reviewers claim as extremely impactful, did not do it for me. I couldn't engage in the story, and gave up trying to care 3/4th of the way through the movie. I was originally excited to see it, given Streep's fame and reputation, but it fell flat for me in every way possible. The cinematography, the acting, the story itself... in every aspect, it was either forgettable or memorable for all the wrong reasons. It was dull, lacked soul, and left me disappointed with the time I spent watching it. I will not be repeating the experience.
