It almost sounds so definitive if you say or write something like that. In this case you have a story revolving around a singer that finds herself in quite the precarious situation. I wasn't sure if this was based on a true story, it does seem to be based on a novel and as you can tell, I have not read that. It's supposed to be quite gripping and emotionally more invested ... the reader I reckon as much as the writer.
That doesn't mean that the movie is bad. It has quite a few punches and it is not afraid to pull them. Weird situations (like applause in the midst of a horrible or at least tragic situation to say the least) and an ending that might not leave everyone with a good feeling (cannot compare it to the novel) ... very well played from all the actors and a decent tension that builds towards the climax I already mentioned ...
