Hey all you movie lovers, just wondering if any have seen this movie and their thoughts on it.

I just finished watching it yesterday and was thoroughly impressed. Not only was it visually appealing but the story was superb and so was the acting. There was plenty of dark laughs in it as well, and I found it almost therapeutic to laugh at the parallels with me regarding mental illness in it as well.

The film looks like it's been shot in one long sequence too. It not saying it's going to be an instant classic, buy I get the impression I could disect this film for years in the same way I've done with Pulp Fiction. Very cleverly done indeed.

I lasted 4 minutes before switching it off, guess you need to be in certain mind to watch that movie, but ive far too many better ones to watch first,

watch a movie each night and this one is way down on the list

Thought it was pretty crap to be honest.

"Thought it was pretty crap to be honest."

Aye? It definitely wasn't what I expected but I was impressed. It had more depth than I thought it would.

Still, get the feeling I'm going to be in a minority here.
