Pretty decent. Kidman was great as usual and the reason to watch it.

Mostly entertaining but a bit slow in the middle. Nothing too amazing but the performances are great and great production and costume design.

Sorkin's usual rapid-fire dialogues works for most part but the shtick is getting boring now (it can be felt in the second half here). The movie drags a bit towards the end and Sorkin surprisingly does not have any impactful conflicts as I felt he is in love with these characters instead of story. Kidman is amazing and easily the reason to wath this but I expected more from Bardem's character but he does well with the material given to him. It just felt that there is a lot of build-up for a finale that was mostly read through words in the end.
