Rather Disturbing But Oh, So Brilliant!

A thoroughly disturbing movie. I left the cinema hating humanity. Draws brilliantly on emotions with outstanding character development by all actors, especially Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, aided by clever cinematography and an inspiring soundtrack. Definitely a movie that will transport you to another place and show you the intricacies of all characters involved if you let it. Slow paced for most, but I believe the length only heightened the atmosphere. Well worth the watch

Really liked this movie. We had no idea what it was about when we started watching it, so I was so shocked. Some parts were really disturbing. good stuff

an amazing film. the sadness expressed by every element of the movie is overwhelmingly powerful and the whole character of HGW XX/7 is developed so easily through his silence and the place where he lives. The best thing is the fact that the movie's ending keeps with the depressing mood of the rest of the movie making it very believeable. The performances of all the actors are great. While some scenes are quite disturbing, the sheer desperation and sadness which consumes the lives of the three main characters is portrayed realistically and you really feel for people who were, and maybe still are, in their situation

The best movie of 2007. The characters were so believable, the story was entertaining and the camera work enhanced the general dramatics and startling suspense of the movie, so the overall experience was thoroughly engaging. An awesomely brilliant suspense drama.
