Cut the Director some slack!

I would like to point out that this is a first time writer/director and I for one am impressed that he has recieved this much coverage. I must admit that I have not seen this film, but the fact that he has won so many awards and recieved so much aclaim leads me to believe he has a wide-range of talent. Hopefully, I will see the movie soon so I can have a clearer opinion. Just keep in mind how new this field is for him.
