re: If You Like to Complain About Hollywood's Lack of Quality Movies

So this is a must see? Haven't heard too much about it.

But yeah, most people are pretty unintelligent. This is probably extremely pretentious, but if you have a modicum of intelligence you have to accept that most entertainment isn't made with you in mind.

I'm kind of going crazy with shite to do right now, but I'll try to make some time to see it this week.

I think I vaguely remember seeing a preview for it when seeing another movie a little while back now that I think of it. Does it have a comedy element to it? I think I remember getting that impression.

I mean, I liked it and found it darkly funny. The characters were all good. I didn’t love it though. It’s a film I’m very glad to have seen but don’t have a large desire to see it again, at least in the immediate aftermath. But a fine film.

I had such high expectations and some preconceptions for this movie, so honestly, it didn't blow me away. But a lot of that is on me because it didn't go where I expected. It's a movie that I definitely want to see again now that I have a better understanding of the intent. But there are also some WTF elements that make it a less than perfect film as well (covered pretty well in the spoilers thread). Still, easily one of the better movies of the year and I'm very glad they still make these despite the fact that they won't make much money.

By far the best movie of the year
