I have seen this one twice in theatres and will probably rent it when it comes out. Let me say up front I do not think this is the best picture of the year. Many people have been saying that it is flawless. I completely disagree. It has a lot of editing flaw, hence why it has not recieved a nomination for editing at the Academy Awards. Having said that, it is a great story with a convincingly real life feel. George Clooney does well, but is absolutely overshadowed by the performances of Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick. I think the direction was good but no where near my top five directors this year. It was definitely a thinking movie that mixes comedy and drama well and convincingly to portray real life accurately. The movie is well done and deserves a best pic nomination, but only because of ten spots this year. It was a good story that had great insight in the writing and dialogue. Vera Farmiga is the strongest part of the entire movie. Its worth a watch.
