Good acting, Natalie Portman specifically; interesting (unexpected) story; entertaining. But the dialog seemed a little bumpy at times. In some scenes I had a feeling I was watching a play not a movie - and at the end of the movie I noticed it was based on a play.

It rained really bad today. I could not stand to stay in the house all day, so I though a trip to the Farmer's Market would be fun. I did not want to go shopping, I wasn;t even thinking about that. All I wanted to do is go to the Barnes and Noble, browse through some books while Luka is playing with the trains at their childrens' section. But, while I wasn't thinking about shopping, everybody in LA was. We got there in record 25 minutes, but then spent more than half an hour looking for parking. All 8 levels of the parking structure were full. Full! But they were still letting people in, so there were cars just circling around and around and around (some were smart enough to pick a wide isle and wait for someone from that isle to move, which is probably the best thing to do - but you cannot do it unless it;s wide enough to not block the traffic completely). However, when we got out of the garage - it did not seem more crowded than usual. It actually seemed less crowded since the outside sitting areas (of restaurants) were closed, and very few people were eating at the original farmers market since it was still raining on and off. Where were all those people?
The moral - never, ever go to the LA Farmer's Market on January 02!
