Cheated and read the wiki synopsis beforehand. ( No way I could have figure out what was going on otherwise.)

Good production. Good acting, competent directing, etc.

Came away thinking that a lot of women are NOT going to like this film.

OTOH.... Affleck directed it but the story ( book and script) is written by a woman.

Maybe I'm on DU too much.
