Read about this in the Chicago Reader and it sounded like my kind of movie. So I cruised down to Landmark Century Cinema and sat in the last row. Starts out rather innocuous but there is a moment in the movie when things change. And I so love that moment. People actually left the theater after that happened! Then more filed out as the intensity grew. And I knew I was in love with this movie.
