This is a cinematic adaptation of Auburn's play, which was 10/10. It required you to follow the story more, and the viewer had to imagine the father; also, the scenes were not all that evident in the play, as they were kept in the background, whereas in the movie, everything had to be shown so that the general public could follow the storyline better (and understand what the entire idea was on the whole).

A good adaptation, however not the best I've ever seen.


Rating : 6/10

I've watched a few movies lately about mental illness and this was a refreshing change. Anthony Hopkins character was definitely mentally ill, but he played it small. The illness was in his head, not splattered across the screen. And Paltrow's character who has to deal with the drama of his brilliance and illness, not to mention the fear that it might happen to her as well, was done very nicely. The play/script was well written and believable and thought provoking. I quite enjoyed this movie.
