First, let me explain that I watched the movie first, and then read the novel. Before reading the novel, I thought it was a story about the original family and self-growth, but after reading the novel, I found that this story is not the case.
The original novel has a high conception, and discusses the problem of American class solidification in a very profound way. The red movie avoids the heavy and far from the light, removes the representation of the society in the novel, and focuses entirely on the inner growth of the protagonist's original family, and the performance in this aspect is not very good. It does not show how the protagonist shows family influence. You are not showing the psychological transformation of other people.
I don't know what happened to director Ron Howard. The movies in recent years have not been as good as he used to be, but even so, I still think that 29% on Rotten Tomatoes is really low. After all, the acting skills of the two resentful women are still very good.
Hopefully the next movie of course will get back on track. Amy turned out to win the Oscar
