fucking beautiful film.
i think it's probably one the few films that i have seen taht truly made me think long and hard.
kudos to the treadway twins, this must have been incredibly difficult to portray.
i enjoyed this adaptation more than did the 1990s version is first saw when i was a child. i loved that it they chose to film in black and, loved the kids the picked to play the twins.
This is a masterwork. Brilliantly conceieved; grainy and realistic, harsh unflinching.
The performance given by Jeff Daniels is ...i would nearly say, the best in his long list of brilliant performances.
Laura linney is in top form, and the two young actors (Jesse Eisenberg, and Owen Kline...) play their parts to perfection.
Billy baldwin, an Anna Paquin's minor roles are delightful.
Beautifully shot in super sixteen, "squid" is a poigant and insightful film, for true movie goers.
a work of extreme genius. harshly beautifull , exsquisite and lovely.a tense and masterfully woven tapestry of filth grime and wealth and poverty.captivating.and intriquing; an unusual film with a voice all its own and a glimpse into a brilliant madness that is irresistable.
words cannot begin to describe the respect and adoration i have for this film.it is a unique and expressive directorial achievement, beautifully photographed and brilliantly acted.delightfull.
harsh and gritty and intense as hell, a story that is mind boggling and so fast that you feel like your on a roller coaster. riveting and intensely satisfying.
there was a feeling/tension of violence too the exquisitely simple and eloquent atmosphere, and a sweet innocence, a weary questioning of purposes and reason\ mainly revolving around death.
set in the distant rather strange and future city of lost children is visually unusual and stimulating, a plot that is rather hard to catch the meaning of at first, but very interesting.i believe ron perlman is nearly incapable of a bad performance.he was nearly perfect as One,the gentle strong man whos little brother gets kidnapped.
