it was nominated for something for the Oscars that year, i believe. its my main reason that i was drawn to it.
basically, i am so behind on recent decent films over the last couple of years - i am going to go back to every Oscar nominated movie for most categories and watch if i havent alreay. going to go back to 2000 and go from there. Good place to start i think. just got to join something like Lovefilm.
but a mate obsessed with Meryl Streep threw this at me. if this wasnt on my list to see, i properly wouldnt of seen it.
