The Words
It's a complex tale about an author's tragic story; only Alien isn't sure whose story it belongs to as the lines between fact and fiction become blurred. The movie raises issues about deceit, guilt, and righting wrongs. Good acting from Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid, and Olivia Wilde evoke emotional responses and drive this story-within-a-story mystery. If you go to see this film thinking it's just a love story, you'll get more than you bargained for. Some romances are incorporated into this film, it's not really a love story. The ending may be less than satisfying and will undoubtedly trigger lots of discussions.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "life story stolen by a writer without a pen" stars out of 4.
