three and a half.
I can't say that this movie was fulfilling to watch, but I enjoyed the experience. I'm generally against watching a film adaptation without first reading the book, and I know still that the book is probably a lot better, but I haven't finished it yet and a suite-mate rented it, blah blah blah. However, I think having a basic understanding of the plot and seeing another's vision and interpretation will be really helpful for my own reflection.
The movie production was bizarre, but I liked the artistic vision it created. At first it was disconcerting to watch the transition shots, expect them to move a certain way, and have them go entirely against the status quo. After a while I really appreciated it because the camera movements shed light--literally--on the world and works of Vermeer.
