Loved this movie. The dialogue Cronenberg scripted from the book was amazing. I was thinking about what the characters said long after the scene moved on and long after the movie was over. The direction (as usual from Cronenberg) was impeccable. Pattinson and the supporting cast really showed off their acting chops. The ending scene between Pattinson and Giamatti was intensely funny and sad. Dark humor ran throughout the film. Pattinson's portrayl of Packer's unraveling was subtle and powerful.
