My Salinger Year sidesteps the slush pile and offers a thoughtful study of a young woman realizing she must shed her responsibilities to other writers in order to put her own words on the page.

You can't help comparing it to The Devil Wears Prada, which is sharper and funnier and more bitter...but it's the very definition of a film that goes down nicely, there are better things it can be but worse things too...

Sigourney Weaver and Margaret Qualley are two of the juiciest actresses in America and, thanks to them, this period drama is never less than tantalising.

This literary drama is too bland and nostalgic to have much emotional impact.
