I can't wait to see his next movie Lowlife, I really appreciate this director & I really consider him as one of the best american author/director of our time.

He's "quietly" carved out an amazing body of work. His films are appreciated in Europe more than they are here. I suspect that because he largely deals with blue-collar, kitchen sink, crime sagas, elitist critics dump him into the cliche bin.

But, those same critics are myopic to the cliches in privileged white people, mumble core, whine-about-your-useless-hipster existence dramedies. Why? Because the latter films are about people who would be "critics." Sad but true
