one of the few films in which i tolerate the annoying matt babyface damon. maybe because i was just in the right mood for a film with such a slow pace and small story (you really do have to be in the mood for it). and also because i kind of like casey affleck. he's kind of creepy. i loved the fotography, especially the salty white plains at the end, and the half-arsed fight scene. but i think my favourite bit was the music choice, though. the genius of arvo pärt fits the mood of the whole film just perfectly. not a film for everybody, but i did enjoy it. and it might very well be one my favourite van sant movies (after 'elephant', 'my own private idaho' and 'drugstore cowboy').
Rating: 8/10
