American filmmakers don’t make this kind of movie in 2009.
A fantastic, unpredictable and wonderfully observed character study.
Any attempt at a synopsis would deaden the impact of what’s on screen. This movie isn’t about the plot points, it is about the behavior.
Gray’s style (I’ve long been a fan) cuts through miles of bullshit and zeroes in directly on how people think and act and what is of importance to real humans in real situations. I have high praise for this movie. One of the best of the year.
