5 stars (Exceptional) I've always found Haynes' films visually ravishing but not emotionally compelling. This breaks the mould. It's excellent in every respect. Oh, and for the stunning photography, Edward Lachman, A.S.C. deserves a place in the pantheon. ~HiFi
2 stars (Good Try) Cate belongs in the 1950's. The wardrobe and set designs are very good but I don't know why it took so long to tell the story. ~Tubbs
