For sure, it’s beautifully shot and scored, all right, but storywise this is far less eventful than I’d hoped and expected. There are also a number of awkward comedy moments that only add to the general annoyance I get when Tom Hanks does serious. I really have nothing else to say about this movie, quite a sore disappointment having put off watching it for so long. It’s all so hopeless, grey and inevitable. And, not that it wasn’t a small thrill to see her, but what on earth was Jennifer Jason Leigh doing in such a tiny role at the start? What with her, Paul Newman, the period and even a stock ticker in one scene, all I ended up wanting to do was watch The Hudsucker Proxy, lol.
