It seems like William Friedkin's film of this Tracy Letts play is garnering a lot of positive buzz. Most of the critics who've seen it are pretty much raving about it. Many say that Michael Shannon and Ashley Judd will get Oscar nominations. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I loved it off-broadway... but can't imagine they could capture the same intensity on film... but I guess William Friedkin used to know a thing or two about intensity on film... so... maybe.

Haven't had a chance to see the film, but did just see the Los Angeles premiere of this show. If you're curious, I posted my review on the Los Angeles page, here:

There were a few people talking about the film in the lobby following the show. Sadly, many of them said they were not liking the movie adaptation as much as the staged version. Go figure
