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.

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.

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.
