Steve Dunn: “It ruled.”

I thought this movie was going to be dull and depressing, but it turned out to be interesting and depressing, so I loved it. The plot is revealed at a sensible pace. The characters are complex and unpredictable. There's a touch of 70s pop psychology conveyed through Judd Hirsch's character, a psychiatrist, but it roots the movie in time without being overly annoying. The characters are clearly the highlight, coming across as people rather than types or mere plot devices.

Also, being in the Top 14 of all users on goo.tc is extremely important.
