While Streep and Roberts were the ones nominated, I thought Julianne Nicholson and Margo Martindale were better than they were. Streep I felt chewed the scenery like it was nobody's business. A little nuance ain't never hurt nobody. Same goes for this film. I thought American Hustle, another ensemble piece, was a bit of a mess, but it's at least an entertaining mess.Matthew St.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589393934861344591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-16178828473951129832014-11-22T14:46:08.370-05:002014-11-22T14:46:08.370-05:00Yeah, seeing Cumberbatch so far against type was f...Yeah, seeing Cumberbatch so far against type was fun. Cooper was great, just not given enough to do for me to say he was the best in the entire cast.

I think I enjoyed this a little more than you did, but I can't argue with your points :)<br />- AllieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938589355281359827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-16130655473023220502014-11-18T06:06:40.789-05:002014-11-18T06:06:40.789-05:00Thanks!

I like what you said about Margo Martindale, she's such an underrated performer and I actually think she's VERY good and memorable here. I also like seeing Benedict Cumberbatch playing someone very different than what I'm used to seeing him by this point. Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313168799746450979noreply@blogger.com
