Review of Beautiful Creatures (2013) by Marcdoyle — 22 Feb 2013

This one took me by surprise. It has much more charm and passion behind it than I though it would. It just gets a touch boring around the mid-point, but the end ultimately rescues it. The leads are well-cast, and the veteran supporting actors (Irons, Davis, Rossum, Thompson) are terrific they didn't get the message that you're supposed to mail it in for this type of paycheck movie.

Viola Davis, in particular, is outstanding in her smallish role.
