"The Devil's Backbone" R2

This was released in the U.K. last week and I just got my copy in the mail today. Watching it now and I'm thrilled with the PQ. I'd give it a 8.5/10. I'm sure this will get a U.S. release eventually, but I couldn't wait as it's one of my all-time favorite films.

Well, some of the night time scenes such as in the children's dorm are a little dark and murky. But the rest is amazing. And 8.5 out of 10 is still a great PQ rating.

No, sorry. Should have mentioned that. I have an all regional player.

It is 1080p. (Thread should be changed to RB, not R2)

Here's a review for the set of films:
Digital Fix
But sadly, the picture quality for Devil's Backbone is not so good, and there are subtitle typos....
