The people who have said that this movie was poorly written apparently have been brainwashed by Hollywood to think that a movie has to have a lot of sex and violence in order to be good. This a very intelligent film, great dialog, great acting and flawless directing. I won't go into the plot because by now you already know the basic premise of the movie from reading the other reviews here. I'll just say, "See Mumford" if you appreciate intelligent films.
