I had high hopes for this movie because I read the book and loved the ending. I don't think the movie captured it for me. That's always the risk with adaptations, isn't it? It had a stellar cast, though.

But then I saw Leslie Odom Jr on the poster you shared! But I still only cared for a little bit, I feel like your watching of it is good enough for me? Also I really cannot handle Johnny Depp. I loathe him, and I don't even know why, he just pisses me off so there's that. Glad this one wasn't bad!
