Good movie, based on a true story.

Feel like I can't look at that actors face now without seeing Walter White and what a douchebag he was. Its like a kneejerk reaction to want to deck the guy just for that character alone. God I hated that show

So, hey, I saw G.O.T.T. twice: once with book club friends, once with my best friend (who saw it with her husband).

I don't know what to say really except I think the film brings richer dimension to the book. Both the book and film speak clearly about socially taboo relationship issues, such as: cheating, drinking to kill emotional pain, very poor boundaries, perceptions about status and wealth and a number of other issues with respect for relationship violence ---- all things I do not like, but I do like how the book and the film give the audience a way to process how one feels about such tragedy.

So, that said, I think I can say that the film and the book did a job well done, portraying this kind of social issue, in a fictional sense, although survivors of abuse, such as myself and others, find this topic triggering.

I really wanted to like this movie but I have fallen asleep twice already.

The costumes are gorgeous. My mom used to dress like the characters and there are pictures of her with her hair in some of the same styles.

Happily ever after is rare in lesbian movies. This doesn't end happily ever after but there is a kernel of hope that it just might.

Oh I loved it! So beautifully filmed and acted and I swooned over the costumes and hair/makeup.

I really wanted to like it as well, but I was so bored I finally couldn't take it anymore and shut it off.
