    "Dallas Buyer Club" director Jean-Marc Vallee follows up his Academy Award nominated film with one that is as equally great.
    Pros: The performances Vallee gets from his actresses are phenomenal. Both Reese Witherspoon & Laura Dern got Oscar nods for their performances and rightfully so. This is easily the best work I've seen from Witherspoon (though I haven't seen "Walk the Line") as her portrayal of Cheyrl Strayed is an earnest & heartfelt and one that is more understanding then just sympathetic. Vallee's implementation of flashbacks to tell the story works extremely well. It does a great job in filling in the puzzle of Strayed's past that has led her to undertake the journey she finds herself on.
    Cons: Emotional impact isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. Would of loved if the film did a better job establishing relationships. Like the relationship between Strayed & her mother is acceptable but would of worked better, emotionally, if just a bit more time was spent on it.
