Truly Deserves All The Recognition It's Receiving

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2011)

I just finished this film about 10 minutes ago and felt myself immediately motivated to check my Facebook. I've been a fan of David's films since first seeing Fight Club, and I personally view this as one of his top 3 films, if not number 1 or 2. After noticing the recognition it's been receiving at such award ceremonies such as the Critic's Choice and the Golden Globes, I first thought it was over estimated after seeing blockbusters like Inception. I did feel the urge to check it out though. It is a fantastic film without all of the big-budget explosions and special effects. This is truly great story telling and David can make the most dull scenes feeling extremely exciting. After watching this film in it's entirety, I now understand why it has received so many awards. I normally shy away from writing reviews, but this movie has inspired me to do so. This is most certainly the must see film of 2010 or any other year for that matter.
