Overall, very good. My wife preferred it to me. I felt the up and back in time to be confusing as the girls, neighbor and mother pretty much looked the same over time. Also, and this is a REAL CRITICISM, none of the pendulums on the supposedly working clocks were moving. How could you make this mistake? This is especially sinful as Amy Pascal is the daughter of a scientist who worked for the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica.

It's a very enjoyable watch, lushly designed (I'd be surprised if it doesn't win an academy award for costumes, at least) and beautifully acted by an impressive, star-filled cast. Although generally loyal to the book (which I admit I haven't read for at least 35 years), it does seem to compress the timeframe of the book substantially, which has the effect of changing a bit of the feeling of the narrative. In particular, despite some feminist speechifying and a wink to commercialism, the movie
