Holy Cow....seriously. I try to be unbiased but...this movie was just four shades of awesome. There is NOTHING that you can pick apart with it. The acting....Oscar worthy. The directing...Oscar worthy. The writing...Oscar worthy. If you are going to make a complaint about anything, it might be the score, but even then the piano scenes make up for that and that was all Plummer. It was engrossing. It was vivid. It was oddly heartwarming and oddly comical in parts and that just worked to add realism to a film that dealt with some horrible and depressing themes...mass murder and dementia...with enough humor and heart to humanize it...which only adds to a sense of realism that makes it even more disturbingly vivid. And the twist at the end is just worth it, just keep on your toes, the hints to that twist are subtle, but there to be found. I don't think I've seen a movie this great in a very long time.
