Settling in for a movie with the wife and I'm pushing this movie. Feeling burned after The Campaign earlier this week because it sucked and I need to cleanse my pallet with some art.

The wife doesn't want to watch a downer movie but I've wanted to see this since it came out.

Thoughts?

I just watched it last night. I think this movie walked the line between showing an unique familial relationship and glorifying poverty. While the characters were "colorful" and interesting - The setting made me feel dirty and hopeful that there aren't a whole lot of people like the ones featured actually in existence.

If you want a fanciful film about squatters with no future but love each other... This is the movie for you.

I like the way it was done technically... but it left me feeling a little angry and dirty (not like perverse... like grubby dirty) knowing there are probably lots of people like this out there and all the love in the world won't improve their fates.

I thought it was brilliant. Best picture nominee for sure. The theatre I saw it in just sat in silence after.
