This movie starts off slow, but by the second act I was totally invested in these characters and their developments. Cumberbatch does an excellent job in this film, how is this man so good at acting. He one hundred percent sells that he is man torn between what he should be and what he wants to be. His dynamic and evolution throughout the story was a treat to watch. I found Kirsten Dunst very sympathetic. As someone who has had alcoholism in my family, it was really hard seeing her go down that path but it was a really genuine portrayal. The movie was a tad long, but it was worth it for the characters to get the room to breath and evolve. The end of the film struck home with me and drew some tears.

Score: 85%
Verdict: Great
