8.5/10
Extremely well done film. Both women are impeccable in their roles as you'd expect. Though I may be a bit biased as I can imagine Blanchett would be able to make belching and farting for two hours on screen seem elegant and exceedingly well acted. Mara, was every bit her equal albeit in her quieter, more reserved role.
My one issue that I found equally interesting and irritating was that, particularly the beginning, it felt very loosely framed. Almost like it was a sequel with characters we were already expected to know.
As such I felt less engaged at the beginning. Though I did find the 'window in to time/lives' style intriguing as the film got more meat on it's bones.
All together a beautifully acted and written film though.
