Masterful Movie
Absolutely the worst movie.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
