I just finished watching it and thought it was amazing.

It’s so refreshing that in a world of endless sequels, remakes, and reimagings, that occasionally a film can still be produced that isn’t all about the bottom line, and is instead about real actors acting.

Oops. Just read Rhonda’s comment. ::removes foot from mouth::

Yes, let’s have a conversation about the content. The big question I came away with was, “How well do I know my own wife?” I realized I’d been neglecting her, and started wondering about her dark side. We all have one, but how deep is hers? I’ve made a point to pay her more attention. But, didn’t Albert think he was paying appropriate attention to Nancy?

Is there anything he could have done to “save” her?

Grim, yes. But does that mean it’s a bad movie? I mean, Leaving Las Vegas was grim; Seven was grim. How about Apocalypse Now? Grim.

Grim can be thought provoking, and this one was for me. There has always a place in cinema for films that make us uncomfortable. My question is, where is the place for those of us who appreciated the film to talk about it?

Anyone else?

For me, this movie was emotionally charged from start to finish. It’s not a “feel good” movie, but an unrelenting portrait of harsh reality. It was hard to watch, and pushed lots of buttons in me. It moved me. There was a lot to process mentally, and even physically. How many movies can you say that about? With all the violence, none of it was explicit or gratuitous. The acting was outstanding, and I am still thinking about various aspects of human nature. I wish more folks would see it and have more conversations about the content, rather than just dismiss it out of hand.

Great review.. spot on. To bad I read it post viewing. I was curious as to how others reacted to this grim flick. The score was pretty stellar, that stands out. And the camera work/acting good as well.. I just think it’s a matter of taste and I found it immensely depressing. Sigh.

Well I think it was a good review…sadly I read it post viewing to confirm my suspicions that other people might also have balked at the horrid content. Grim movie and that’s 2 hours I won’t get back… sigh.

Maybe no one has commented on this review because no one gives a damn about this crappy movie.

Maybe you ought to WATCH the movie before commenting on a review.

Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I haven’t even seen the movie but this review was simply terrible. No wonder no one has bothered to comment it yet.

There you go, someone had to say it, and I kinda feel like I’m doing you a favor by doing so.

Don’t quit your day job, Vic Holtreman.
