It says a lot and says it very well. And the performances are superb. I think this movie will one day be considered one of the truly great American epics, but the Corbet name doesn't yet have the clout of a Spielberg. Get in on this one early, folks.

I want to take issue with your previous assertion that paying $20 to watch this movie would leave me owning it. You don't own digital content - it's all contingent on licenses that can be taken away.
If 7 rmers tell me it's worth it then I'll buy the 4k
Only if you'd still have money left for that 4k of Flow!

I knew I could count on you spike. But you need to see it again or another time too to truly appreciate its achievements.

Agreed. A lot of the foreshadowing was very subtle, for example.
It was brutally confusing when they used a different actress to play the mute niece when older, and then the mute niece actress to play her daughter in the same sequence!
