Wells is mainly known as a producer of things like ER and The West Wing and the screenplay is clearly based on a stage play, both by Tracy Letts (a virtual debut). Extremely well acted by Meryl Streep, the exceptional Julia Roberts (both nominated), Sam Shepherd, Margo Martindale (her best performance so far), Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor, Julianne Nicholson, Juliette Lewis, Dermot Mulroney, Abigail Breslin and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Shot in a palette that reminds me of John A Alonzo by Adriano Goldman (Jane Eyre) and cut by Stephen Mirrione (credits include Clooney and Iñárritu films) with music by Gustavo Santaolalla (clearly a guitarist in origin). Clooney and frequent collaborator Grant Heslov produced.
For Q it's the film of the year.
