'Hemingway & Gellhorn' lacks heart

This is a love story where it's hard to feel the love. In part, this is because they are both literally swallowed up by the film in whole chunks -- chroma-keyed into grainy newsreel footage to establish that they weren't just part of history but had a front seat to it as well. If that weren't distracting enough, Owen and Kidman can't sell this star-crossed love, either. Maybe it's a chemistry misfire or there just wasn't much to sell in the first place.
