Viewing Notes

Not that we needed another adaptation of this book but at least this version is colorful and stylized and fun to watch. As DiCaprio ages I find that I enjoy him and his acting more. The opposite is true for Tobey. Carey Mulligan seems to be ageless. Wasn’t expecting a Isla Fisher weekend but glad to see her in this after viewing NOW YOU SEE ME yesterday (but I like Shelley Winters better in that role). Beautiful film on the big screen just not sure there’s more than needs to be done with this story.
