Liz & Dick (2012 TV Movie)
6/10
Bad script, poor editing, misguided performances
25 November 2012
I just finished watching the movie. Lindsey looked like Liz, but her voice was the most noticeable distraction. Elizabeth Taylor had vulnerability in her voice, but was precise. Lindsay did not seem very vulnerable in her voice--she seemed more, "Whatever, lady." The acting was misguided because the director really should have worked harder to bring more of Liz out of Linds.

What I could not get over was how bad the script was and even worse was the editing. So much more could have been detailed in the storyline, but the abrupt edits made it difficult to sustain momentum.

Overall, the movie was hyped to be a blockbuster event, but deep down, it's still a made-for-TV movie by Lifetime: The television for women and the gay men they want to convert. So, don't expect Oscar nominations.

I think the film and performances could have been a lot better, but overall, it was enjoyable to watch but probably not noteworthy.
