I went with a friend to see this film and we had widely different opinions on it. In a nutshell, she loved it and I strongly disliked it. Having said that, I did admire it for its original style, smart script and excellent performances by Chris Cooper and Nicolas Cage. In particular, Cage managed to completely immerse himself in his dual characters. However, I did not like Meryl Streep at all. Part of me thinks the problem may lie with the characterization of Susan Orlean - basically I didn't care one fig about her - but I truly believe a different actress could have done more with this role. I guess this is one of those films that you'll just have to see for yourself to make your own judgment.
