The film starts with one of the best opening i've seen in a while, and instantly you feel connected to the characters and in the end it all falls together in the most precise and perfectly intended way P.S. can we rewind to last week? i want to see this piece of art before the oscar so i can be even more happier with its win !

I know the vote may be skewed by the American political climate surrounding the timing of the vote, but, although I give it a 7 (good) out of 10, it didn't win it's category for me.
