Very good

I really enjoyed this. It has atmosphere pouring out of whatever screen you watch it off. I feel like I just spent 119 minutes behind the scenes of a Broadway play in New York. Saved me spending money on a flight over.
I liked it so much that it's got me interested in finding out what else Inarritu and Lubezski have done. I need to watch more films like this. I like the idea that not everything has to be explained to the viewer. It makes a refreshing change. Sure,..the ending might be a little vague and not appeal to everyone but so many films nowadays make me think the writers and directors feel obligated to explain everything to you and make linear,structured story-lines that make the endings obvious 20 minutes before the credits roll. I'm glad it won the Oscar for best picture. It was the right decision.
