Quite a good movie, sometimes it felt a little slow but it made up for that in having an exceptional sense of the whole movie being one long shot that faded into each new scene. The editing was absolutely incredible. The character development was excellent and flowed quite nicely, each character flaw coming out at a perfect time to make the scene a little more vibrant.

It caught my eye because it was nominated for an Oscar and I read all this great buzz. I don't know what I was expecting but I after watching the movie, I did not feel completely satisfied. The acting was good and the story was interesting so if you have 2 hours to kill, I would watch it.

Seemed like a well done movie but was very artsy and I don't think the average movie watcher will appreciate it or understand it. I was pretty lost through the whole thing. Not sure if I understood it by the end?
