The film did have a lot of particular styling going on. Life would be boring if everything was the same!
shareWith the way they are making movies these days, I automatically give a minimum 6/10 to any film where I can both see and hear what's going on.

This is easily one of the most unattractive movies I have seen this decade. Which is, of course, why it was nominated for an Oscar for cinematography.
