I thoroughly enjoyed the 1947 version of this film. Both versions have a lot in common. This version is a surprisingly faithful adaptation. There are no woke elements in this film.
Overall, I consider the performances to be solid. Cooper (Stanton Carlisle) was an excellent performance, as was Rooney Mara (Molly Cahill). To be honest, pretty much all of the cast were excellent. As I have lost most of my respect for Cate Blanchett, when I say she did a good job of bringing Lillith Ritter to life, I mean it. I also appreciate the high level of narcissism that Blanchett brought out in the role.
There are some graphically violent scenes in this film. There is minimal sex and nudity. I would recommend this film for people over 16 AND for those who appreciate slower paced character films.
A solid 7/10 for great sets, solid acting, and, especially for staying true to the original story.
