the only good thing about #TheLastThingHeWanted was Anne Hathaway. I finished the movie with so many questions and zero answers. pic.twitter.com/x7nonAqWuS

If you told me Netflix adapt a Joan Didion book with Dee Rees directing an all-star cast, I wouldn't believe it could be this bad.

Too bad, there's potential there, but nothing else.#TheLastThingHeWanted
