Title: Read the book and skip the movie
Review: To begin with, this movie supposedly based on the book is, in my opinion, garbage and not representative of the book. That being said, I am glad that I went ahead with my plan to read the book, as it has much to offer. Especially interesting to me is the historical account of the making of Key West, the Spanish War, life in China during the Japanese invasion, and World War II intrigue. All of it is conceptualized in the life of Hemingway and "third wife" Gellhorn, making it better, and more improbable, than fiction. The movie is embarrassing and inauthentic.
Is the review positive or negative?
