Best Picture?

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2008)

It's a good movie but Oscar Best Picture? I don't think so. It's an injustice to "Atonement", "Sweeney Todd" and even "La Vie En Rose". Best Picture at Sundance, I can understand. "Fargo" was much better. Maybe they gave it to the Coen brothers this time to atone for "Fargo". There were too few characters who were of little dimension and similar to each other. There was hardly any production design or production value. The story and screenplay can't be written better but is too simple to deserve such an honor. They also opted for an unconventional ending which will disappoint a lot of viewers who expect what they are led to expect.
