We ran a video interview with Rebecca Miller two months ago, so you know I’m pulling for this movie to succeed, but could this trailer be any more flaccid?
Robin Wright Penn, Julianne Moore, Wynona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Maria Bello, Alan Arkin, Monica Bellucci, Blake Lively. What a line-up! It’s every actress who’s not in Nine! So why does the trailer look like a public service announcement for a rehab clinic?
The movie might be quite good — with this cast, it’s bound to have some powerful moments. But please have somebody recut a better preview. To paraphrase Churchill: Never has so much talent been assembled so randomly for such piddly effect.
