I did too. As an exercise in swank economy, The Blue Room is the kind of movie hard to screw up. It’s content to stay on the surface, registering as nothing more than an adaptation of Simenon. I saw only one howler: a cut from a closeup of Esther’s vagina to Julien’s daughter.

i've seen many movies "like" that screwed up, if we're talking erotic thrillers. Louis Malle's Damage? Terrible.
(tho phaps that was sold on the sexy more than a Simenon adap wd be)
four months pass...
A lovely, winsome Blythe Danner performance and Sam Elliot's sexy rumble are at the heart of I'll See You In My Dreams, a snappier than usual Hallmark Channel movie (and in the eighties James Garner would've starred).
Watched Spotlight: good, with a couple impressive moments. Not as effective as Zodiac cuz visually it's dead (Fincher would have at least shown Boston's insularity by showing how close the Globe building is to Michael Keaton's high school earlier and more gracefully).
