Great. It was a fantastic film and Rachel Weisz was amazing in it.
Welcome to the Oscar race for next year. Weisz is unbelievable in this. A lock as a contender.
Welcome to next year’s Oscar race. Weisz is arresting in this. Superb. Should start an incredible fall next year.
As great as Rachel Weisz is, i have to say, the show is stolen by Vanessa. The last scene with her is incredible!
