For me, Dustin Lance Black was really good as the screenwriter, but he's showing a whole other side of the gay experience, this time looking at the impact of the closet instead of the more rebellious take in Milk. I found Leo & Armie's scenes to be quite moving, actually, but I'm clearly in the minority on this one.

Even in Changelling which I love one can clearly see it's definetly not the same quality as Unforgiven and Mystic River.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-11868916584297295492012-03-09T02:32:10.027+01:002012-03-09T02:32:10.027+01:00Yes, he was really good, it's a shame the movi...Yes, he was really good, it's a shame the movie didn't got to the level of his performance.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-37914773580781374392012-03-08T23:32:02.015+01:002012-03-08T23:32:02.015+01:00I only wanted to see this because I was hoping Cli...I only wanted to see this because I was hoping Clint Eastwood would do something different. Wrong.<br /><br />I enjoyed what he had been doing from <i>Mystic River</i> to <i>Changeling</i>. Sure, they had elements of Oscar-bait but they were still wonderfully-crafted and engaging films. <i>Gran Torino</i> was stupid. <i>Invictus</i> was boring. <i>Hereafter</i> sucked and now this? I think it's time for Clint to either make one more good movie or just retire into the sunset.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-3829873323477547482012-03-08T19:25:56.245+01:002012-03-08T19:25:56.245+01:00It wasn't terrible like I was imagining, but i...It wasn't terrible like I was imagining, but it does feel a little like it is just showing Hoover's achievements, rather than the actual person himself, which they actually try to do but sometimes work and sometimes fail. Regardless though, DiCaprio is awesome.

The length was too long, the GAY subplot was painted with such a heavy hand that it felt poor taste almost.
