Going to see it today, in dubbing, alas... Here in Italy there was no mention of Benedict in reviews & spots, even the trailer shown in the cinemas is the first one, in which his name is not displayed. Sigh.

I'm still awaiting my Scottish agent to book us in!

Sorry to reply to myself, but I wanted to people to see this!
Just got in from the film: totally amazing and mind blowing...

I am really tempted to go see it! I got so annoyed at the few Danish reviews I watched on the movie... they all mentioned Benedict but none of them showed him.

If I had money, and if the movie theater wasn't in a scary part of town I would go see it tomorrow!

Must see.
Brilliant.

Another to add to my list!

Enjoy.

We moved it to Wednesday, but still! I'm so excited about this! It will be my first time seeing him in the movie theater (other than the trailer for STID'... which was before I got obsessed

He's not in this so much and not so dramatically as Star Trek.
But he's excellent and he must be so proud to be associated with this film.

I just watched the movie and I have to say I was really moved; Benedict was fantastic. I have said before I love an awkward man and he does that really well!

When the movie finished I had to say this out loud; and a few of the elder women who were there laughed so much (there was just a crowd of us two young women and 8 elderly women sadly). "I think I need to hug my family... I hate my family but dammit I need to hug them now". It's true though.

Aw.

Just because you hate your family doesn't mean you don't love them.

Ah yes that is true! But for me to actually want to hug people like my mother... that is saying a lot about this movie! I'm really glad I watched it actually.

I loved it and can't wait for others to see it!

I saw it tonight and wow, now that's what I call an emotional rollercoaster ride. And what a great opportunity for an ensemble of tremendously good actors to show their talent...! They were all so good and convincing, at times I just wanted to scream and shout at them "Get your shit together!".
Great dialogue and such interesting characters. And what a bundle of great roles for women!

Benedict's role was as small as expected, but the few scenes that he had were really moving and beautifully acted. What can I say, I constantly wanted to hug his Little Charles, he was so sweet and plain adorable.

I hope I can go there as well! It had a most favourable review today in a newspaper you dislike

**Posted by besleybean** March 6, 2014 9:18 pm

I strongly recommend it.
I loved it and can't wait for the DVD.

I read that, too.
Well, I will watch it again on Monday, this time not dubbed but in the original version...
