Jeffrey is always so elegant. It was great to see him with Erika and brilliant to have the marriage that took place between the people it did (don't want to spoil for those who haven't seen it.) The movie was a pleasure to see and loved seeing Erika on the big screen.

It's a great adaptation of a really good book. A lot of smart, creative decisions went in to how to tell the story on-screen rather than on-page.

Nice to witness those subtle gestures of compassion/empathy between these, like when Tracee touches Jeffrey on his arm, or Sterling touching Erika on her back as if to say "man that sucks, sorry you had that experience" while not interrupting the story but just nodding solemnly. Reminds me of mature adult friendships that I have [had] in my own life.
