Holy S***! This movie kicked ass. Such a unique story and the style was incredible. Kudos to Penn, Watts and Del Toro for their amazing and truly oscar-worthy performances. Have any of you seen this thing? If you haven't, run to the theatres right now. It's gut-wrenching.
One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR ONE MAN TO MAKE A FILM.

i just saw it a couple weeks ago and loved it. the acting was incredible and the low lighting brought out that beautiful gritty film look. though i remember reading some reviews back when it first came out that complained that it would have been a better film if the scenes were just shown in order like a typical film instead of the going back and forth, back and forth. when i was watching it, i couldn't decide if i liked the style or hated it. but i guess as the film went on, the editing style grew on me like memento did. overall an amazing film, phenomenal acting, and beautiful music. any filmmaker or non filmmaker alike should check it out.
the best stories and ideas come from the outside and their experiences
