HEARTBURN (Nora Ephron) - January 30/21

 I wasn't too crazy about this at first mostly because Ephron tends to write in a kind of stream-of-consciousness style and emphasizes schticky jokes. But I got used to that stuff (though the jokes were never funny) and really found the characters well-drawn and interesting. I also felt like she made some unexpectedly cogent statements on relationships and marriage. Curious to see how it's adapted for the big screen, definitely. ***1/2 out of ****
