This movie was stunning. I was pretty cynical about it, and I don't like Joaquin Phoenix at all, but this was seriously beautiful. It's well made, and unique, and really dares to ask a lot of bold questions about the very nature of human interaction. It's going to be very easy for people who want to be dismissive of it to be so, but I found it to be an amazingly affecting film.

The majority of the crowd at the screening was older people, and they were very openly hostile to it. They laughed and made catcalls during the really raw, intimate moments. They booed at the end. The woman who was running the showing had a line of old people complaining to her about how awful it was at the end. My favorite overheard comment was "Well that's where our society it headed now. No one falls in love. They just play with phones." Angry old people are so funny.

But seriously, if you don't have an open mind about the nature of relationships to start with, you'll probably hate this movie. But if you're willing to have an open mind, if you're willing to fall into the story, if you're capable of really thinking about what's being said here about essentially what it actually means to be a human, then this is absolutely worth seeing. I don't think I have ever like a movie of a romantic nature as much as this one. It really is beautiful. I don't want to say much else until people see it (and until inevitably several people tell me I'm wrong and that this movie actually sucks). But yeah, I LOVED this movie. I can't stop thinking about it.
