Saw it last night with friends and everyone really enjoyed it. Smart writing, smart directing, good acting and extremely entertaining and twisted. I was laughing a lot at the situation in the 2nd half where everyone has to keep up the insane charade of lies to try and get what they want and nobody gets what they want... they'll be stuck in hell for the rest of their lives. I love comedy that's as black as a gravitational singularity.

The best film I've seen so far this year.

She wanted that version of Nick that he was projecting in the interview, the illusion he used to deceive people in NYC so they didn't think he wasn't just another dickdrip from a midwest shithole. THAT'S what she wanted, she didn't love Nick as he actually was... who could aside from his family. Desi was a rich POS but insane and weird and probably not worth the long con needed to get anything substantial out of him. When her on-the-fly scheme worked out at the end she gained a singularity of leverage to force him into that role for at least a decade or two so their kid can grow up. A fitting punishment for all his sins I suppose.

I think people will only care that it's a "good" and "well crafted" film that "makes them think" and/or "entertains them" in some way. If it's a POS people will spit on it and shove it on the ever growing ash heap of "cinema."

Would I benefit at all from reading the book before watching the movie?

I highly recommend going in without reading the book. It was a helluva trip.
