However, just because bunches of people think it is a great movie doesn't mean you who are reading this DVD review will like it. The transfer was co-supervised by Paul Thomas Anderson and it is simply marvelous. No artifacting and color bleeding whatsoever.
Flesh tones appear natural and the dark colors are nice and deep with a high quality contrast.
The Soundtracks are also beautiful, capturing the songs of Aimee Mann and Jon Brion's moving film score without overshadowing the balance of dialogue and effects. I loved it. Within the color bars under the set up menu there are some outtakes sandwiched in between that feature some funny bloopers between the cast and crew. These very same outtakes also appear within the color bar section of disc two as well. The menus on both discs are simple stills that are easy to navigate and match the film's packaging well.
