I watched it last weekend with my bf and we both really enjoyed it. It's probably one of the best film for this year. Very intense and emotional but in a subtle way. This film examines how miscommunication, lack of understanding, and pure stupidity can often lead to tragedy, which it does in our society. The film is 2 1/2 hours long, which may seems long, but if you think about the fact that the film addressed every social/political issues in both macro (international) and micro (family) ways, he did a supurb job in cramming everything in there. If you like the Traffic or Crash, then you'll probably like this one. But this is not as dramatic as the other two.
