Not to say it was a bad movie, necessarily...

It won the Palm d'Or because it was ****ing brilliant. Great script, great direction, overall a great movie. ****ing loved it.

Vantage Point. It was okay..

For whatever reason, this movie really struck a nerve with me. I think Benicio Del Toro is grossly underrated.

Up next from Netflix:

I've been waiting a Looooonnnnnnnnnnng time for this one.

Susanne Bier's films seem to have the effect. I can't wait to see this. I appreciate Del Toro as an actor as well

I'll have to check out more of her work. Thanks for the heads-up.

I RARELY hash out a 5-star rating on netflix and TWLITF earned it. I've never experienced anything remotely close to what the main characters did, but I still managed to feel a strong connection with both of them and had an overwhelming sense of empathy for them throughout the movie.

Every elicited emotion was just one gut-wrenching stroke on a canvas after another, painting a beautiful but very sad picture.

Then definitely check out After the Wedding. I thought it was pretty powerful film. I enjoyed Brothers (Brødre) as well.

Here is the trailer for After The Wedding: VIDEO: After the Wedding - Trailer
