About 5 years ago it was nominated for a shit load of awards and was praised pretty consistantly for its direction, acting and editing. But for me it was just ok. I'm not saying it was a bad flick I'm just saying that it didn't strike me as perticularly special. The editing is the same non-linear style used constantly by Tarentino but for me I think this story would have benefited form a traditional style of stroy telling. I just didn't care enough about the characters to bounce around form point to point. Im a big fan of Rachel Weisze but I didn't thingk this was Rachel Weisz's best work (still better than Lovely Bones) and honestly she kind of annoyed me. I will say that it had amazing cinematorgraphy, that strange mix of beauty and filth that not many films can do well. Overall I was kind of let down, maybe its because I waited 5 years to see it but I expected more.
5/10
