Otherwise, I'm not seeing what the mass appeal is. The book won the Pulitzer Prize and probably sold a lot of copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a sign you might want to aim higher in terms of actors/actresses to stan for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 When are reviews dropping for this one? Seems like WB is dumping it but still hoping for some decent reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's screening tonight at TIFF. I don't think reviews will be as bad as the pundits expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I have never read the book. I am going to be very honest: from the trailers I do not know what this movie is about. One of the trailers on TV I keep seeing makes it look like a really interesting mystery about an art museum, and the other one makes it feel like a movie about mommy issues. One of those movies I’d be very interested in seeing. The other one not so much. I wonder if I’m the only person getting that vibe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The embargo for this just ended and so far none of the trades have been positive so the latter definitely. I'm currently predicting $8M opening for this but with reviews looking to be cold on top of there already being no buzz for the film I wouldn't be surprised if it went lower.
