The begining of this film has me enjoying every minute. Funny and thought provoking and well, crafted, i was thinking this is the best movie i have seen in a while. Somewhere along the way it lost me and by the end i thought: meh. Still, there are many interesting surprises.

Insipid. Very disappointed. Wanted to love this film. Very interested on the heals of Radical Wolfe. Seems to be a rather flat story. ( only watched 15 min.) the role of the wife was not cast well. Difficult to suspend disbelief. Sigh. Shame. Waste of time, talent AND treasure.

Beautiful in its simplicity. I loved the absence of special effects. I loved the symbolism of chess + poker and the lines about money. The family home was a beautiful character too. I looked for the soundtrack on iTunes but was disappointed.
