9. I thought the acting was great, but I thought the dialog was lackluster.

Not as clever as it thinks it is, rarely truly funny.
A poor man's Tennessee Williams.

My favorite part was Streep's relating of her Christmas boots story.
:shiver:

I agree with you about the "realism"...I think the set designer should
get an award for the almost hyper-realism of the house. I do a lot of
estate sale visits, and there are certain items that consistently appear,
house after house, and that house seemed REAL to me.

So far, my favorite nominated picture this year is Nebraska, although
I haven't seen Captain Phillips or Philomena yet.
