Greasy Reese wasn't really the problem, surprisingly. She was OK, although not great. It was the directing, IMO. I felt as though there was too much of an outside agenda, and that the real point of the book never got across. Too bad, because I generally really like Mira Nair.

All the same, saaaaaa-lute to her for taking it on. Usually short stories make better movies than 1000-plus-page novels.
