Like a great challenging book, you have to commit but it is worth it. Emma Stone steals the show as the film takes us on a journey of woman's suffrage, emancipation, the evolution of language and the physical and emotional development of not only a person but of culture. The dialogue is incredible and the script probably could be read in its own right. A film that looks amazing, challenges you and is enjoyed long after it is finished. Loss of a star just for Mark Ruffalo's fluctulating accent and last scene.
