Probably the most polarizing movie to come out last year. People either hated this movie or loved it. If you havent seen it yet, rent it, turn out all the lights, turn the sound up to movie theatre volume and give it your full attention. I was sold on this movie thru and thru. I think the film makers did danm near everything really, really well. The girl gives a fantastic performance precisely because at no point does it feel like she performing. She is so natural, and so devoid of self-consciousness in front of this hand-held camera, its unreal. It's like its never occurred to her that audiences are going to watch this someday. I wasnt bored at all while watching this. Rather, I felt like a privledged viewer, excited to see what happens next. The film wisely relies on subtlety, and strikes a eerie, menacing tone. It creeped my sh#t out.
