The first time I watched the film, I couldn't get through it. There was very little that was likable about the characters, and I chose not to spend 2 hours with losers. Seeing all of the critical acclaim it received, I decided to watch it again... and loved it the second time around. Reading the screenplay made me love it even more! I could stop and savor the writing, noting how each scene ends provacatively. It's a very adult piece, and one must be very open-minded and not judgmental when reading the screenplay or watching the film.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
