i just finished watching it this morning. and i gotta say that i liked the second half better than the first. i don't know what made it this way, maybe i was just in a better movie-watching mood this morning. anyway. this, obviously, is an experiment in filmmaking. so you should only watch it if you're in for a good steven soderbergh intellectual fuck. the characters and situations are cold and steely, as usual. but there is also something meatier for those of you who'll stick it out. definitely. and i can say that i was pleasantly surprised by the film. it's not exceptional by any means, other people have done this kind of film, but this is a cool way to spend 100 minutes of your life.
and i feel that catherine keener would have been in the running for a supporting actress nod for this.
i didn't get everything about the film but i enjoy this kind of filmmaking.
and if you're up for a soderbergh mindstroke, go for it.
* ooh, and a brilliantly genius nicky katt as hitler. a delicious standout performance of the film. in any film.
light years away from anything i've ever seen him do and he just pops off the screen every time he's on.
