Brought back my faith in filmmaking

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2002)

This movie brought back my faith in film as an art form. In a time when movies seem to be made for for those with 5 second attention spans, this film dares you to "look closer." After I saw it in the theater, I couldn't stop thinking about it. My wife and I kept talking about it and discussing how it seemed like a richly textured painting. I've seen it on DVD countless times and still always find something new in it. There have been so many accolades given to this movie and rightfully so. After I finished seeing the film, I knew I had just seen a classic. I can't wait for Sam Mendes' next film.
