The first audtion of Norma Jean for the part of Nell...Ana broke my hart. It tore me to pieces. Ana did this a few times. The accent, yeah, yeah, i don't care. This Girl just carries the entire 2.42 h film. Just like we watch the marylin movies for marylin so did i watch this one for Ana. And not just her. Without the superb cast this movie would have been nothing but a series off meaningless artsy picture. There is not much dialogue or script what results in a Dreary feeling. The first 25 minutes are intense. After that it becomes slow and dreary. I just kept watching for the outstanding cast.
