Carey Mulligan is the only reason to see this movie. Her performance is outstanding
All the awards!
Bradley Cooper wildly overacts as Leonard Bernstein. Matt Bomer is wasted in a tiny throw-away role.
I cannot say much good for the movie itself. It starts out in black & white, then turns to color. Why? The first two thirds of the movie were so dull; I nearly dozed off. There is endless philosophizing, and people talking over each other. It added nothing to the story. Then there are long shots that look like they are a mile away of people talking. It makes the actors look Lilliputian.
Bradley Cooper'ss direction of the movie is choppy in many scenes, but lovely in others, such as his direction of Carey Mulligan. The camera loves her as she goes from young woman to middle aged woman to dying from cancer.
The final third was the best in terms of the story flow.
However, I cannot recommend the movie unless you are a diehard Bernstein fan.

Notes of Autumn set the Fall season for me. I am a fan of Luke MacFarlane, and was happy to see him in this movie. The female lead, Ashley Williams, is delightful. She reminded me of a young Cybill Shepherd.
Luke and Ashley are best buds who live in different cities. Both are having work problems and decide to switch houses for 2 weeks.
In the switch, each meets a friend of the other, and friendship and eventual romance blossoms. (It is Hallmark). Luke meets Peter Porte, an aspiring chef, and Ashley meets Marcus Rosner, who is a musician .
I am so very glad Hallmark included the gay storyline, casting two out gay actors in the roles. The movie is typical Hallmark, but it was sweet and cute and well done.. I'm hoping to watch Luke MacFarlane in more movies.

I love exorcist movies! I went to The Pope's Exorcist because Russell Crowe stars, and is based on an actual papal exorcist. This movie, and Russell, did not disappoint. It is a well done exorcist movie. Russell Crowe was terrific as the priest who was the Pope's Exorcist. It was lovely to see Franco Nero onscreen again as the Pope. The entire cast was wonderful. It was a decent script about a demon from the time of the Spanish Inquisition. I enjoy these movies depicting religious folk fighting against evil, especially when it relates back 500 years
The special effects and CGI were perfect. There were a few jump scares throughout the movie.
It is a well done horror movie . The ending seems to set up for a sequel. I would enjoy that!
