Actually two things: first let me just say that I for one thought they did an excellent job developing and portraying the individuals - what I found interesting that Julianne Moore's performance when Palin was depressed/angry/catatonic actually made her look more like the real thing than when she was portraying her in 'happier' times. Great job by everyone...
But more importantly AFAIC: I'm nearly 60 and have watched all these mature cast members since they started in film and television, and what depressed me a little was that they all look so middle-aged now. I remember when they were all playing early-twentysomethings and now...and so therefore I'm also getting to that point where the young look at me and consider me to be the age of their older uncle. Jeez.
Well, as they say, consider the alternative...

(25,347 posts)it can't be easy...when Tina Fey did it it was a caricature, but this is pretty congruent with the 'real' thing.
also, Harrelson's anger was palpable...great job on his part as well.

(47,675 posts)I haven't seen the movie, but I've read that it is fairly accurate (which is frightening on its own). I remember when Gilda Radner was about 20. She's dead now. She married Gene Wilder and he's getting old - an old Willie Wonka, imagine that. I do plan to watch the movie, but I'll wait for it to come out on DVD. Just like "W".
