All this for a movie I found boring in the extreme for nearly 5/6ths of the show. It took 2 hours to get to it's point and okay...got it. Whatever. It's nothing new under the sun and not the best portrayed either. I won't repeat everything that was said by the other reviewers because I pretty much agree with them. The relationship in this movie was twisted and weird in the extreme. Yet. Oddly. I keep thinking about these 2 strange people and their story. LIke my mom always said, there is a lid for every pot. Both the lid and the pot were pretty cracked in this. Still, there was something about it. Not a movie I'd be going around telling people to watch because it's "so good". But that is a heck of a lot of awards it got nominated for! Someone was obviously getting more out of it than the rest of us!
