Elizabeth Oldiges

Intense movie that kept my interest throughout. Gyllennhaal's performance is Oscar worthy.

I loved the movie. The musical performances and acting were great. The story of her childhood, family life and romantic relationships were revealing. I read that some specifics were off and some important people were not represented, but it is a movie. Even with 2.5 hours you cannot tell everything. Enough was there to explain how she got her start, some of her problems, some of her mistakes, and how her talent and intellect brought her through. If someone writes a comprehensive biography, this movie motivates me to want to read it and fill in all those details.
