The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a swedish film based on the book of the same name by Stieg Larsson. I went to see it at an art-house theater in DC since its kind of a small foreign film. Let me say: This is the best movie yet of the 2010 Oscar Season. It is an incredibly original crime thriller. I have not seen a movie that was plot based so thoroughly develop character arcs or spend time on creative details in addition to having a killer plot. The film is subtitled but after a few minutes you will feel as though you are learning swedish. I loved this movie. Movies of this nature and feel are rarely made in America, or in English for that matter. If you can stomach some strong violence then you will throughly enjoy this movie. I need to see it again so I can better deconstruct and comment on the directing, cinematography and music. But I can say that Noomi Rapache's rendition of the girl with the dragon tattoo was some incredible acting. She got way into character and this turn will captivate and haunt you. This was an enjoyable film that was a thrill to watch.
