My Blueberry Nights: portman and the new press-indulged 'talent' | Thread profile

a.o.

Portman is only in about a third of the film, and while she is pretty great in it, I found that the plot slowed drastically in her section. The stuff with Jude Law in NYC were my favorite bits, but the scene-stealer is David Strathairn. He breaks your heart in the short amount of time he's around. I really liked the film, but I am the guy who has four (yes, four) Wong Kar Wai films ...
