Feels like a theater play1. The acting is good, which comes to no surprise featuring names such as Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, who won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for this. However, I just don't think the movie, story, pacing is good.
All in all, a tedious disappointment. Two stars may be a bit harsh, but I can't recommend this overly long2 movie to anyone, despite the numerous award nominations.
1 it is based on a play, so this makes sense
