I was transfixed. I am 76 years old female. I have never seen anything like this before. I kept thinking , O-MY WORD. I was shocked at the nude scenes, and the sexual parts, showing the character, I watched the entire movie. I could not stop watching. I watched her change and started realizing how wonderful the story was. I loved the idea, the whole movie. I now understand why Emma won the best actressOscar.
