Dan O'Neill90 - Writer/Director Richard’s Kelly debut feature may lose it’s head with the mind-bending elements, but it has a perfect script, great performances, and a story that goes places you won’t be expecting, and won’t be disappointed in seeing anyway.

Jester Smiles80 - Fanboy film that I don't think is overrated. Great movie.
Drezzy70 - Extremely quotable and filled with solid performances all throughout (and Gary Jules' "Mad World" at the end still makes me legit choke up), but overrated by its fanboys. It's not as smart as it thinks it is, but it's still a solid movie.
