I love J Law's performance as she portrays a strong woman with vulnerabilities. I thought the supporting cast was amazing, especially her mom, dad and ex husband. What I didn't like was the liberties taken on the actual true story in an attempt to create more drama. For example the sister and the patent issue. But I guess it's a drama so it needed to be in there. Overall it's OK. Worth it to watch if once.

The actors are top notch but the direction of the movie looses that real life feel. It sticks with you but sometimes you just want to shout at the horrible characters that make up her family.

This movie didn't deserve the bad reviews. Enjoyed it more than American Hustle. It' feels like you are walking through a dream, more of an art movie than a straight bio pic. Great characters and moments.
