About as close to perfect as any film that I have ever seen.

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2009)

So why do I give it 9 out of ten? Because watching it was not exactly an enjoyable experience and I would not recommend this to everyone. But Sam Mendes may be the best director working in Hollywood today. Each and every performance in this film is nothing short of brilliant. Kate Winslet gives her best performance to date here and I think the same can be said of Leo. Though I continue to admire the hell out of almost everything that he has done. Michael Shannon should have gotten some sort of supporting actor nod. His character of John Givings as sort of the Id personified was probably the most difficult part in the film and he just did an outstanding job. I could go on and on,just don't make me ever see the film again.
