Saw this tonight and thought it was excellent. All I hear on this board is Tarantino, Fincher, Nolan.....oh & James Bond.......

How about some love for Lynne Ramsay goddammit.

She's basically made one (good) film. Give it time. If she's THAT good, she'll get there.


Although her second major feature (Jane Got A Gun) has Michael Fassbender and Natalie Portman (2014). Can't wait to see that.

This board also has a massive hard on for Jeff Nichols, which is more in line with Lynne Ramsay.

I have only seen Shotgun Stories and I liked it. I have yet to see Take Shelter but have heard good things about it.
His next movie Mud also sounds interesting. I think the hard on would not exist if you take Michael Shannon out of the equation, so far he has been in all 3 of his films.

I don't think so, especially with Take Shelter. While Michael Shannon was excellent in the movie, he didn't make it by any stretch of the imagination. That movie was a case of a good actor being placed into an already strong movie.

I am not questioning how good his movies are, what I am saying is that more people will give his movies a view because of Shannon and thus noticing that he is a good director. When I picked up the dvd for Shotgun Stories, I did not know who Jeff Nichols was. I just saw Michael Shannon on the cover and decided to get it. Sometimes it takes a known actor to get a good director noticed.

True, I only knew about Shotgun Stories because of Ebert's rave review.

Watched this last night, I imagine Lanza's mom would have been treated the same of course Tilda didn't have an assault rifle in the movie.

I saw this the other night and I'm still thinking about it. Great performances as all have said. Tilda is dope, in every project.
I laughed at the shart scene.
