    Acting is sooooo Bad!

    I can't believe this was made in 2018/19, and someone thought the acting was passable!?!?!? Omg. I'm 1/4 in, had to pause and write this. But like any train wreck, I gotta watch to the end. Acting is terrible, laughable, inauthentic, omg what is this messsss!!!This movie is disrespectful to their memories. Some of the side characters are good. But Ava, honey nooooo.

    What a waste

    I feel bad for harry Dean Stanton's Last role but my God couldn't get through this film no matter what. Horrible, Horrible,Horrible!

    Wow!! This is ATROCIOUS!!

    I have never felt the need to write a review before but after seeing this travesty I instantly made an account and now here we are. I have been an Ava Gardner fan since I was a teen. Why couldn't this movie get an actress that looked like her even a little?? Why couldn't they get an actress that didn't make her look like a bumbling floozy?? Ava was a very smart and talented woman with a near genius IQ. Then there's the insane amount of historical inaccuracies. If you're a Sinatra fan you won't be happy with this either (Check out the HBO movie The Rat Pack for a great Sinatra portrayal). HORRIBLY casted, Horribly acted piece of melodramatic garbage. I truly hope a great actress and director come along and make an Ava Gardner biopic that is true to the amazing woman that she truly was some day.

    The acting is appalling!

    I rarely write reviews, but I had to put one here. I don't even know how this garbage ever got made. This unknown looks nothing like Frank nor does this girl favor Ava Gardner. The acting is so stiff, it's as if they are just reading the script verbatim with no feeling at all. I watched 15 minutes of this and I had to turn it off. No way I was going to waste any time or my life with this trash. You would do better to watch a cartoon.

    Horrible

    Don't beleive the clown who says don't believe the negative reviews when the other 2 reviews are 10's!!!!!

    This movie is shlock garbage.

    A sad sent off for Harry Dean Stanton. And if Eric Roberts is in a film, you now it's gonna be the worst He just churns out like 50 films a year for the money. He'll do anything for scratch. Too bad Ed Wood passed away years ago. He's replace Bela as the muse.

    The film is poorly written and worse acted. It's abject trash.

    Word to the wise Frank impersonator -- keep your lucrative cardiologist job and stop financing vanity projects.
