In full agreement. Upstream Color is one of the best films I've seen in the in the last 15 years. - @Saturday, March 14, 2015 12:49 AM

I thought Primer was really good but absolutely loved this film. It's quite hard to explain to people, and can imagine that many people may label it pretentious, but I really don't think this is the case. Complex and very emotional, it was disturbing, tragic and ultimately beautiful and actually moved me to tears. One of my favourite films of that year and I think Shane Carruth is a total genius. Even after only 2 full length features I think he is already up there with Aronofsky, Lynch, Cronenberg etc. And I feel confident in saying that too. The direction, cinematography and score (which I loved) are all flawless, and he did it all. I look forward with great anticipation to what he does next. It's just a shame that he never managed to secure the financing that he needed for "A Topiary". Maybe the world isn't ready for that film yet? - @Monday, February 23, 2015 8:41 PM

This movie was utterly mind blowing, as was Primer. SEE IT NOW. - @Monday, February 23, 2015 6:47 PM
