Down in the Valley (Edward Norton)
Couldn't find an existing thread about this. Anyone else seen it? I loved it. Thought it was a wonderfully haunting character drama with beautiful cinematography, a captivating soundtrack and superb performances from the cast.

I give it 6/10. The actors were superb, and I can't wait to see where Evan Rachel Wood's career goes from here. However, after a key event happened, the movie just fell apart for me.

I think Evan Rachel Wood was wonderful. However, I loathed Edward Norton's character so much that I have no desire to see Norton in another film for a while.

That is what I thought would happen glad it didn't. I liked it but something was off for me through most of it. I would just rate it as average... 5/10. The performances were good though...

I didn't care for this movie. It felt like an 80 minute movie stretched out to 115 minutes. It just plodded along, with tons of scenes that felt unecessary. I found Norton's character more bland than interesting, and was irritated that we never were told what his "deal" was. Where did he come from? Why is he obsessed with being a cowboy? Why does he lash out in inappropriate ways? With none of that answered, the character is left seeming boring and undefined. And don't even get me started on the last 25 minutes. I thought I was watching Walker Texas Ranger.
4/10
