Nov 22, 2022I expected more considering there was some capable talent in the cast. This was just too difficult to watch. Performances were not convincing in the least and the script was expository. I couldn't get past the first half hour.

Nov 22, 2022Total dreck. You know you're in trouble when the film warns you at the very beginning that most of it is believed to be true, and the director does everything he can to emphasize "Ava's" "assets." Poor acting (high schoolers could have done better; not a single portrayer resembles their corresponding character), poor characterizations (not a single, likeable, character), poor script (every cliche in the book), poor direction (bad camera angles, cuts, segues) . . . you get the idea. I stopped after 20 minutes, and that was 15 minutes too long. Don't bother. There are better cures for insomnia.

Nov 22, 2022Terrible writing, and miscasts abound. Truly bad acting, and utterly tragic direction. Who in the hell thought this was worth making? The legend of Frank Sinatra deserved better than this dumpster fire.

Nov 22, 2022I have never felt the need to write a review before but after seeing this travesty I instantly made an account and now here we are. I have been an Ava Gardner fan since I was a teen. Why couldn't this movie get an actress that looked like her even a little?? Why couldn't they get an actress that didn't make her look like a bumbling floozy?? Ava was a very smart and talented woman with a near genius IQ. Then there's the insane amount of historical inaccuracies. If you're a Sinatra fan you won't be happy with this either (Check out the HBO movie The Rat Pack for a great Sinatra portrayal). HORRIBLY casted, Horribly acted piece of melodramatic garbage. I truly hope a great actress and director come along and make an Ava Gardner biopic that is true to the amazing woman that she truly was some day.
