Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.
George Eliot (1819-1880)
I haven't seen the film, but I have read the book.
I think his title is a bit overblown--more to attract readers than as a realistic appraisal of his argument. It's easy sitting safely behind a keyboard commenting on the illogical actions of fictional characters. I find her actions to be very understandable. Moreover, he hasn't read the book, so his comments can only be about the film.
I left a comment following his post with some details I won't mention here for it may be a spoiler for some.
