Or, it may not be your cup of tea.


Or, you may have really poor taste.

Heh, you're prolly right.

I thought it explored those themes with some facsinating, well-played characters, and interesting situations.

End.


Sorry you didn't get it. Eh, it just didn't work for you.

Too bad. Great film. Worthy of the many Oscar nominations it received and the critical raves it garnered.


In my most humble opinion.

I got all the themes, I thought the performances were top notch and I'll go on the limb, I loved bardem in NFOM, but I think I would have loved to see Dano get the nod at the Kodak, he truly deserved it. Then again, so did Tommy Lee Jones and Bardem (so a tough year). But, I still thought the whole thing was a bore. Meh, so I save myself a few bucks not buying, it's okay!
