Almost perfect. An amazing analysis of isolation and loneliness, which resonates with me on a personal level. The entire cast (even including Cruise) is simply phenomenal. And I loved the Exodus 8:2 gags! This MUST be nearly the ultimate in film-making.

Interesting, but overly pretentious.

It's great film with outstanding acting with no exceptions in cast. All characters have their stories nicely connected and it's nothing less than perfect. Frogs are one of the best WTF?! moments. But I was somehow not intrigued by whole thing, like something is missing after all. I guess prologue was too good and everything else is just bleak shadow of it.

Very good, but felt like it something was lacking somewhere to make it truly amazing.

Strange movie. Some interesting sub stories.

Anderson grabs your attention and hangs on to it for the whole movie. Great cast and a wonderful story. One of the 2 roles I actually like Tom Cruise in. I have to wonder if the casting director said, "we need to get the biggest douchebag in Hollywood for this part.... I've got it! Tom Cruise would be perfect for this role!". Anyway, I really did think this movie was quite amazing.

When it rains it pours. This movie features a character in about the most emotional pain as I've ever seen on film. Kneeled beside his estranged father's death bed Frank T. J. Mackey (A career best from Cruise) hisses "I'm not gonna cry for you" before bursting into desperated tears, caught between the hate of a grown man, and the longing for love of a child "Don't go away, you fucking asshole! Oh, God, don't go away, you fucking asshole!" Pretty potent stuff.

A good movie!
