What I Think: I love these kind of movies. Thorton was a genius in writing and directing this movie. Everything about it was absolutely amazing. The storyline was great and the way everything played out to the end was also great. The actors were kind of weird at times. I felt like some of the more minor roles were just reading lines and not really feeling what they were saying. Absolute genius in the end though. Great, but anticipated, ending.
