Ditto! Best movie I have seen in a long time. I usually think any movie or play over two hours needs a good editing. But, like you, I did not even notice. I finished the book one morning and saw the movie that afternoon.

I did not know that about the screenwriting. That makes sense. Thanks for the information.
