One of 2008’s best movies. It ends with a few unanswered questions and unresolved plot lines. Immediately after watching the film, I found myself bothered by its ending. Later on, I didn’t have and issue with it after realizing I was merely looking at a snapshot of the lives of a family. The film left me with questions and made me think; putting this movie on a higher level from what’s out there now. Each and every performance from the actors is top-notch, particularly from the supporting cast. Director Jonathan Demme definitely deserves and Oscar for his ability in this film to intertwine scenes of joyfulness and acceptance with scenes filled with underlying tension and uncomfortableness. See this movie. It’s a film you won’t soon forget.
