Movie review from Wash.Post

[javasaurus]

Ann Hornaday's Review of 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days is captivating.

The movie is a snapshot of life in Romania, as a young woman in college seeks an (illegal) abortion. That in itself is not what intrigues me about the movie, but rather the way it was filmed, and the way it was reviewed.

Movies with tough subject matter

[petricat666.livejournal.com]

I am interested in 4 months, 3 days, etc., but I don't know if I want to see the subject matter portrayed that graphically realistic.

I have only seen one of the best picture films this year. Why? The graphic violence of No Country and There will be blood. I haven't gotten around to Juno and I missed Michael Clayton and have it in my netflix queue.

If I'm really lucky I will see all of the films in one of the major categories ...animated feature - I've seen Ratatoille, have Surf's Up in my netflix queue and need to see Persepolis.
