Has anyone else seen this? We saw it on Monday night and LOVED it. It was so interesting. If you've seen Traffic, the direction was similar to it, since it's the same director. My husband and I had some really interesting discussion after we saw it.
I was wondering if it had done well at the box office and it has been doing pretty well. I highly recommend it!

Just saw it today while taking a self-indulgent break from the kiddos. Unfortunately I came in a few minutes late (maybe 5), and I felt scattered through the whole thing. That said, most of the feedback I'd heard about the movie was of people having a hard time following it .... I'm just wondering if I missed a huge 'family tree' type prologue that might have helped.

It was good, and I kept up enough to feel invested in several of the characters .... all, I think. I'm still having a hard time getting the fingernail pulling scene out of my head (and I closed my eyes).

Clooney was v. good in it.

We saw it last night (Netflix). Honestly, some of it was very predictable and I got bored half way through and just had to go to sleep. I think DH liked it more.

We saw this a couple of weeks ago and thought it was all right. I was confused for most of the movie, and while DH followed the plot better than I did he still thought it was just overly complex.

We saw it- I also left at mid-point and went to bed. Hubby stayed up and loved it.

Wierd, isn't it?
