Because of the write-up in the WSJ, I dragged my husband away from football Sunday to sit in 2 hours and 10 minutes with no closure. Five young guys were sitting in front of us. They were also harassing the guy who suggested the movie. The sexual content and nudity--can get away with it when it adds value to the content but, honestly, we all came away with WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?? I came home and looked it up on line and either the high art was not comprehensible to the audience or it was not high art. J. Phoenix was pitiful because it seemed so type cast of his struggles in real life. i just don't find anger, addiction, sex entertaining without a plot that grabs you. Maybe the director is just getting eccentric as some authors do--they leave us in their thinking. Hoffman's acting is always great.
Pros couldn't leave
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I LOVED this movie...the writing was excellent. Could have shortened the last hour long battle but not complaining. I would see it again and am glad I did not miss it. Totally amazed at the writer and development of this film. Actually, I think it should have won best picture instead of the Hurt Locker.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
