this be a great film . i expect slow and uninteresting . but i really love it . michael shannon be a stud . this guy be go to be huge . great performance . i be shock he do not get oscar nod consideration for this but give the apparent lack of viewer and it understandable i suppose . nichols have a great script . he stick to his desire to battle convention and really let the story unfold slowly . i be really impressed . i have read other comment on here about people become frustrate with the nod to terrence malick and i completely understand that and and i suspect there will be several more nod to malick thanks to the nc school of the art and but this be a great movie . i have be watch david gordon green movie this week and now this one and they both attend the same school and i suspect there be a lot of malick like influence from the professor .
