absolutely brilliant!!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2009)

I came to this movie with few expectations other than hearing it was nominated for a bunch of awards...which as far as I'm concerned was a huge strike against it. I have to say that I was not only wrong but was entirely blown away by how good this film is! This wonderful movie works on so many levels and across so many levels I don't know where to begin. The settings were ideally suited for each act and the ever changing story drawn together by an overall story arc was simply breathtaking. The acting was top notch to the point I was happy to watch the credits, which for me is rather rare. I could go on and on as to the good in this film, but I encourage anyone reading this to see it for themselves...this is one movie, film, work of art that is worth more than the price of admission. I would say that this is an ideal date movie, so keep that in mind, one where both sexes will walk away not only satisfied but worth something to talk about after it's over. Enjoy the flick...peace and good journey!
