But yes, it is good and very solid.

Tomei has a good shot at Best Supporting, but there’s gotta be better out there, no? Maybe its cause it’s a weak year.

Now, I know that only about 1/3 the number of reviews it will end up with and it is bound to get some negative ones once it released wider, but still, even most “great” films have had 1 or 2 by that time. Is anyone expecting this to do more at the Oscars beyond Rourke and Springsteen? I know Tomei has gotten some buzz, but what about the director or the screenplay? Or even Picture?

Revolutionary Road is the only other 100% as of yet with only 14 reviews thus far.
