Query: Good performances, lackluster movie

I cannot understand why this movie is getting such tremendous praise. I thought it was an ok movie, but it wasn't resonanting in my mind very long as other movies this year did. I thought more of the story about how Julianne Moore's, who did do an excellent job, charcter felt about her husband's extra-marital activities could have been explored. When she found out, it was like she didn't really care. Maybe it was, because she already knew insde, but that was never conveyed to the audience. I thought that the 50's thing became too cheeky. I wasn't sure if the movie was supposed to be funny or serious. A little of the "swells' and "pops" would have been fine, but, to me, it crossed the line to being too much. One good thing about this movie was the colors; the cinematographer did do a great. The movie could have been great if the writer and director stuck more to providing a good, moving story rather than to making a 50's homage.
