Sorry if this has been discussed before - but I only saw it a night or two ago. It HAUNTS me. I think it might be one of the best movies I've ever seen. Not that I could see a MUSICAL version of it, mind you! LOL
Anyone else see it?

I did see it. I loved it. I thought the performances were superb and the direction lyrical.
Also, props to the cinematography.

Plus, I could look at Brad for hours.

He was fantastic. Oscar nominated I think (or was it for Gone, Baby Gone?)

I think he was nominated for best supporting for this one.

Gone Baby Gone is one of my all time favorite movies. He should have been nominated for that as well. He was excellent!

I loved it. I always knew Affleck had this kind of work in him. Also, I feel this is the performance of Pitt's career.

Technically, the movie is astounding.
