I had a visceral reaction to this film the first time I saw it. I really wasn't sure whether or not I liked it, but I knew it was a powerful piece of writing, a bold statement and a well-crafted bit of cinema. On second viewing I really liked it a lot. And I was able to take in the nuances, appreciate the care taken in the direction and editing, as well as the music and design. For me this is the sign of a really good work (in any medium), when the initial intensity in experiencing the work far exceeds any thoughts on how the work was crafted.
