Beautifully shot, very well executed, but leaving too many things unanswered or explained leaves the viewer frustrated and wanting more. But all of that aside, Michelle Williams in her most subtle yet striking performance of her career is absolutely mind blowing. After seeing what she could accomplished given a 'baity' role in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, Williams has transformed herself into a leading lady well worthy of better, more challenging roles that will make her one to watch for a gold statue in the coming years.
She shows just enough to fall in love but not enough for you to want to stay. She never reveals her hand but lets you believe that she could. I foresee a few accolades for her in this awards season. Even watching her interact with people after the screening, Williams is a real doll outside of Hollywood. She's proud of her film, (as she should) and engages herself as a magnet of beauty.
Regardless of that, watch a star be born in this intimate portrayal of loss, redemption, and despair.
**1/2 / ****
