plus I thought the music was intrusive and unrelenting just like depression and Meryl Streep never managed to transcend her essential Streepishness.And that nose on Nicole Kidman! The only difference was I still liked the movie-a lot! Guess you never can tell. I read the book first and didn't expect to like the book at all but did. Maybe that's why I liked the movie I was waiting for it all to play out. It was like a puzzle and I was never drawn "into" the movie but my being there watching was another layer in the plot. I was really in a good mood when I saw it too so maybe that counteracted too much depression on the screen.
