If Salma Hayek still doesn't feel comfortable with English speaking roles, then stop casting her to have to speak large passages of English dialogue. It's like she couldn't understand when to emphasise the correct words, and in turn the performance was a mess. Owen Wilson has no excuses, he just sucked.

I don't know if they thought they would be making the next Matrix here, but it's definitely the bargain bin version.

If you've seen Blue Jasmine, then watching Cate Blanchette head towards a breakdown due to a mental illness left untreated will be a familiar viewing experience for you. Your fandom of that film will probably go a long way towards judging your enjoyment of this film, as this is essentially a Cate Blanchette showcase.

Bernadette is treated as more of a dark comedy than a serious drama, which does add some more entertainment into the mix, but at the same time lessens the emotional impact and pathos of the characters. The middle third of the movie with the introduction of the therapist and trying to pinpoint exactly what is wrong with Bernadette dragged on unnecessarily, but a strong start and ending make it worth a watch.
