I went to watch this last night after reading some rave reviews. The acting was incredible with Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman both putting in top notch performances. There were some incredible scenes, very powerful and sometimes uncomfortable to watch. On a whole the movie just seemed to fall down at the story itself but is still lingering in my mind the day after, it will be interesting to hear views from others.
I want to see this, but bizarrely it has not had much of a release - art-house only. It looks more accessible than There Will Be Blood, which came to the provincial fleapits.
