I heard so many good things about this flick so I was really curious to check it out. Honestly, I wasn't disappointed.

I must say it is a... read more

"To be honest, the only reason I've seen this movie is because Nick Cave is the one who wrote it. So I was quite curious how it turned out. The story is amazing almost as much as direction.
