Yeah, but unfortunately, it wasn't!

I think she's the saddest girl ever to hold a martini.

I thought Abbie Cornish was great, and very sensual, and Im a girl !

People have been kind of harsh towards Mirren. Did anyone actually *see* her? She was a force of nature. I would say that Cornish should have taken Sidibe's place instead (to be honest, can't see all the fuss).

I agree about score, cinematography, and art direction.

I've not seen Mirren's performance in the film she was nominated for but I adore Helen and she's always good in whatever she does.

Since you listed it as 6 out of 10 on your own ratings, you must have found something worthy of this film or you would have given it a much lower rating. Tell us what you DID like about it instead of being sarcastic.
