something missing

The movie shows the ups and downs of Bettie Page’s life.

The actors are good by my standards.

The script is much too predictable to my liking.

This is still worthy of note if you’re into movies covering the 1950s era. I just felt something was missing to really be an attention-grabbing film.

Although Gretchen Mol puts in a pretty decent and believable performance in the title role, the film itself is a drab and unsatisfying portrait of a life that could definitely not be accused of being either.

Biopics Worth Watching (17 movies items)

" My favorite thing about this film is seeing the actors actually do what they're paid to; Act. Most Biopics that are done on low budgets tend to have actors that don't try & don't care. In this, mostly everyone did the opposite. Especially the lead. She was the closest thing I've seen to a Bettie look-a-like in a long time. Granted, she was wearing a wig & probably contacts. But she still did her job in the most spot-on way possible. I didn't like that it stopped where it did. I would have lik"

Mustavalkoisen ja värillisen sotkeminen ei haittaa ollenkaan, vaan tuntuu tyylillisesti perustellulta. Harvemmin myös näin kepeää optimismia saadaan aikaan elokuvasta, jossa raiskattu ja lapsena hyväksikäytetty nainen tekee sadomasokuvia runkkareille ja kääntyy sitten suorastaan fundamentalistiseen kristinu"
