About all I can say for this movie is that I saw it. There's really not much else to say about other than Meryl Streep is the only other reason to see this movie because her performance is good as she portrays the mother whose baby got taken by a dingo. She portrays the grieving mother with a coldness and detachment that is kind of striking but at the same time there's a lot empathy towards her because we know what really happened. I don't care how she wants to embody her character, the viewer will always empathize with her because of how the first part of this movie was set up.
That's the major flaw in this movie is that they try and make a mystery out of the baby loss where there is no mystery. They try and get the viewer to wonder if a dingo did take the baby or did something else happen? But there's no real mystery about it because as the first part of the movie shows us, we know the baby was taken by a dingo. There is no and if or buts about it. A dingo took the baby. So I don't care how characters after this fact act or what other things are brought to light. A baby was taken by a dingo. I saw it. The movie showed it to me. If the writer was going to try and form a mystery around this event, then the major event can't be shown or at least shown in a way where can honestly be asked. But as this movie is set up no questions can honestly be asked where the viewer doesn't automatically side the mother and father of the story.
the mystery makes sense. That's not the case here as no matter how much "questioning" the makers of this film want to add to the storyline, there is no mystery because they've already shown us everything.
