Oscar Isaac's character was simply genius. I have never seen depression depicted so clearly in all of if its elements. I believe this film didn't get what it deserved by "the critics". I honestly believe US as the viewers should watch this movie and discuss its serious nature with our families. I love how my family talked for months about this movie and sporadically till this day. For all you people on the fence about watch it! I Double dog dare you to watch this movie! Don't always believe the critics..
