No doubt Schrader is brilliant screenwriter, but the acting and production in this movie looks crap from what i have seen. This movie is getting so much attention because of some of the people involved. Its all hype. And its as if they are using all the rejections and bad publicity to get interest in the movie. I find it a bit beneath Schrader to be quite honest.

If he caves and lets them at it, we've got an EXORCIST or THE WALKER-style fuckaround that feels compromised. If he sticks to his guns because he's a man of honor, he's smeared as difficult, elitist, and the movie's goodwill is irreparably harmed. What was no doubt conceived as an experimental effort ala one of Schrader's favorite films, PERFORMANCE, already has a line around the block of critics with the knives out. THAT AINT RIGHT.
