My Take on the Book
This was a great movie with strong acting and a great line of characters and cast. I have been wondering how good of a movie it was ever since I saw all of the oscar nominations it received, After watching it I can see why it received the nominations. It was a strong movie and George Clooney does a great job in his role. Yet, it is not just Clooney himself that makes the movie. The movie is actually filled with a number of great actors that bring the movie together and make it a strong one that anyone can be proud of. What I loved about the movie is it shows how a family can stay strong in front of adversity. The movie also has some strong messages and themes about life that make the movie that much more enjoyable. A great movie and one that I would highly recommend to all!

The acting was superb. The script was well written and the film held my interest through out. The cinematography was beautiful. I think it is a worthwhile film to watch for getting a better understanding into family relationships. Cloney was well cast for the part and the actors that portrayed his children also were very good. I think that you will have an enjoyable evening with this film.
