Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
