this movie is a masterpiece because it has no bad acting and everyone play their roles to the fullest especially joaquin and philip seymour hoffman. this movie doesnt give you a thrill with the story rather it shows the the very realistic connection between two people that are very different and they execute their roles so well you almost believe that they are in that specific state of mind. this movie truly emphasises great acting and i still dont understand why hoffman didnt receive an oscar for his role. i highly recommend watching.
