Review of American Pastoral (2016) by Christie Jones T — 07 Feb 2017
Though Philip Roth is one of my fave authors, I have not read this book. Many of the reviews compare the film with the book; this I cannot do.
Another thing I cannot do is watch this film all the way through. The stuttering character, played by Dakota Fanning, is so irritating that I just had to turn the tv off. There are stuttering characters throughout the world of film, so the irritant is not inherent to that type of character. Fanning I dont think studied the basics of stuttering, and so it just comes off as false and contrived.
That's it for me...just couldn't even watch it!
