I haven't read the book but I've seen the same critiques of it as well.
There is one part in this movie that will become a Twitter reaction video meme very soon. So for that alone, this film will have CULTURAL IMPACT!

Fuck this.
Jessica Chastain has lost it and James McAvoy is surprisingly bad.
Hader and Ransone saves the day by actual giving a fuck. Both are brilliant.
