This is based on the Tony winning play and won a Pulitizer prize. I think they must have had a blast filming this but as with most adaptations of straight plays something always seems (to me at least) a bit off...almost like they are playing to the back of the theater. There is a lot of swearing not Wolf of Wall street level but more than American Hustle. Meryl and Julia go at it several times. If you see it I would love to know your thoughts.
