Just saw it. I could write down a shotload about how I feel about the movie. But it's still sinking in and I don't feel like going into too much detail right now.
The movie is broken into 3 parts/acts, with each one taking the story further and further. By the third act, I was just wanting it to end and couldn't understand why he kept it going. But in hindsight, it really makes the film that much more impactful. It's hard to explain; you ever watch something (really, a part of something in this case) and while you're watching it, you kind think it's boring, but when it's done, you completely understand the meaning? That's the third part. The first two were incredible.
This movie assaulted every one of my emotions. I don't know of a movie to ever have this much of an impact on me (maybe eternal sunshine?) in memory.
I understand now why it got a limited release (I think it had much to do with the third part) but let me just say, the movie was fucking great. Easily the best this year and better than anything released in 2012. Without examining all the films released over the past few years, I might go as far as to say it's the best movie I've seen since Inception.
It's not for everyone. Some of you may dislike it entirely in fact.
Acting was phenominal.
The score was outstanding.
The story was outstanding.
