Why do people go see movies that they don't understand and feel inclined to write poor reviews on sites like this? No, this is not a Hollywood popcorn feel-good movie. It is an intense, dark, moody, art film. And, it is executed perfectly. I don't get how people don't understand that going in. Just go see National Treasure again, or maybe rent Transformers. Don't write about something with which you have no experience. Just because you don't get it, or it made you feel "depressed," does not make it a bad film.
Day-Lewis' performance alone makes this a must see.
