That being said, this was probably the worst adaptation of a book I have ever seen.
The story, as always, was changed for a viewing audience. I was not surprised to see that Gillian Flynn's name did not appear in the credits. I think if she had some input, it wouldn't have been half as bad.
Seeing the trailer, I assumed that after her performance in Monster, Charlize Theron would have played a brilliant Libby Day. Unfortunately, I doubt she even read the book.
Overall, the movie failed to convey the mood of the book and Charlize failed to convey Libby Day's desperation.
I hope that Sharp Objects, should it ever be made into a movie, will have the creative input of the genius that is Gillian Flynn.
