I thought it was an amazing film.
Loved the movie so much that I immediately downloaded the book to my Kindle after leaving the theater.
I've got to say that I can't recall a movie ever being truer to its source material.

I did the opposite. I read it twice in the lead up to the movie coming out.
I thought it was pretty true to the material, although one or two of the changes left me really puzzled.
It's an outrage that the book has languished mostly in obscurity over the years - particularly for Louisiana school children who should have been doing field trips to the various sites, lo these many years.

I suppose my prejudice towards the book is partly to play with my nonchalance at the movie. I've always felt the book was overrated (not to say it wasn't good) and that there were better books out there on the subject matter (although these don't have as compelling a story and are more an amalgam of the multitudes of experiences in the antebellum south.)
