Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

dreymandi MY EXCITEMENT for a movie based on some of the details of Diane Arbus' colorful life quickly dwindled away as potential for quality storytelling gave way to a generic, dull and boring two hour long treatise of Nicole Kidman's emotion ridden countenance. My least favorite part of the movie happened when one of the characters underwent a profound changed in appearance in order for romance to take place. Or did this happen because the movie had too generic of a Hollywood-style plot that its mainstream audiences had to feel comfortable watching?I barely made it through the movie, according to my tastes, it was not worth the time.

scancap As a photographer who knows something of the work of Diane Arbus I decided to watch this. I waited and waited and waited for there to be anything in it about Diane Arbus and her work as a photographer. It never happened.Instead we are treated to an imaginary story that is extremely unlikely even metaphorically.This is one of those situations where you find yourself just pleading for it all to end.It is called an "imaginary portrait of Diane Arbus" and I suppose that kind of excuses it. But really...

hauntme Who was this film made for? That is the question I am begging to have answered .Diane was an uncompromising artist who stared unrelentingly and without sentimentality at our world and its inhabitants. Not exactly the stuff popular documentaries are made of. So we get this: a series of corporate decisions that get renamed as "an imaginary portrait". There is no authentic artist re-imagining here. Diane's vision gets romanticized which is entirely against the grain of who she was.This project was just an excuse to allow Robert Downey Jr. to prance around and then allow a set of NPR listeners to conclude: Gee, I guess those people I see on Maury Povich are alright.

klarabergman I have never read or seen anything about Diane Arrbus before, so I can not comment on that. However, I find this to be the kind of movie you just gasp your way trough. I love the whole imaginary feeling and it really makes the characters pop.Perhaps a bit too long, but that's easily forgotten when you come to one of those breathtakingly beautiful outdoor scenes, or pretty much any scene between Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. Their chemistry is really amazing. And the two characters they portray makes the whole movie.As said before, a few too long scenes, and some weird music here and there that does not really seem to fit in. But all in all a gorgeous and a little bit strange movie
