I rarely read reviews, preferring to see the film and decide for myself, but for some reason I've read a few about this film. All of them talk about it as having major Oscar buzz, but interestingly *most* of the reviewers comment that they've read the novel, and feel that the film is better. That would be a pleasant change.
