So far Kristen Wiig has been known as a comedienne, so it's a welcome turn to see her in "Hateship Loveship". She plays a woman goes to be a caretaker for a man and his granddaughter, setting in motion a series of events. What I liked was not only the characters' depth, but also a trick that the movie plays: the cruel trick attempted by the granddaughter's friend backfires.
Much like how Bill Murray proved his versatility by starring in a number of serious movies in the 21st century, Kristen Wiig does so here. She has good support from Guy Pearce, Nick Nolte, Hailee Steinfeld, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christine Lahti (appearing briefly is Peggy Walton-Walker, whom I once met). I hope that Liza Johnson continues directing movies. In the meantime, I recommend that you see "Hateship Loveship".
