No more long breaks for Gwyneth. The girl doesn't like for courage on in the roles she takes. To not do anything for so long and then come back and do a role where if she is off the slightest bit it will ruin the whole movie is damn gutsy. And she totally nailed it. I know she played the same role on stage but that can sometimes lead to disaster. She could have tried to do play something slightly different to freshen it up and have it back fire. I don't know that she didn't do that as I never saw her on stage, clearly, but if she did do that it worked. Jake Gyllenhal was great as well. He had a less openly emotional role but he did a great job getting through what he needed to get through from his character. If he had let down the slightest bit to Gwyneth things could have been bad but he didn't. He's always done good work and he continues to show he's at the top of his generation of actors.
Saw it at a matinee and would have been happy to pay full price for it.
