It's kind of a mess....but it's almost very good....I don't know. I think they tried to adapt too much of the story. I liken the script to a jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle says it has 500 pieces...but you open the box and there are 600 pieces. The test is trying to find the right 500, in the right combination, to make the ideal picture. Affleck failed at that. The plot had too many distracting detours, which led to less time with the more interesting aspects. I wanted A LOT more of Elle Fanning in this movie but I didn't give a damn about his "mourning" for Emma. It even very briefly tries to get political...so brief it was distracting. Man....this movie should've been so much better.
