Todd Haynes directed this Drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Kyle Chandler, Jake Lacy, Cory Michael Smith. Rated R for a scene of sexuality/nudity and brief language. Running time is one hour and fifty-eight minutes.
Two women (Blanchett, Mara) from very different backgrounds find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York.
Basically, this is an artsy soap opera. It's nice to look at and features two top actresses. I enjoyed hearing the music of the 50s and seeing the cars of that era. But the plot moves at a snail's pace and there's so little happening it's hard to stay interested.. This could easily been cut to ninety minutes, which would have made it much more palatable. Lest you think this is just a male's reaction to a female love affair, my wife watched this with me and she was as unimpressed as I was. If you enjoy art films or soap operas, fine. But if it's entertainment you're seeking, look elsewhere.
There are no additional scenes once the credits begin. Screen size is unimportant. Theatres/Times.
