Considering this was the first LGBT novel of the 1950s that had a happily-ever-after, I was hoping the ending would be more cathartic. If you've ever seen Marty with Ernest Borgnine, I expected that type of happy ending where Therese couldn't wait to get back to Carol.. Otherwise, it was just meh.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-23444860998472582492016-01-21T11:43:44.899-06:002016-01-21T11:43:44.899-06:00Nope.

Interesting thought about grading films... "I felt like I was grading them for the way I wanted to see them and not how I really did." I think that's always a conundrum isn't it, for us film critics. Sometimes I'd rather just TALK about the film and not worry about what grade to give it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313168799746450979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-81622391598176675382016-01-20T12:20:25.105-06:002016-01-20T12:20:25.105-06:00Nice review.
