Thanks fastfilmreviews and Aziza! I’m going to check it out for a secnod viewing today. I got the interviews through my coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival. I was supposed to interview both Olsen and the director for this film but had a conflict with interviews for The Artist. I ended up speaking to Olsen over the phone a couple of weeks ago. She was lovely, very humble.I met Shannon during the festival. Good guy, nice early morning chat. Was supposed to meet with Jessica Chastain right beforehand but that one got canned. I might have cried. 😉

I do agree with you. But to be fair he wasn’t rude to the audience, he just seems like a young artsit type who never thought about how a general audience would react to his film. I would imagine it’s easy to get insulated into a film world that mostly consists of your filmmaker peers, snarky critics, film festival snobs and such, all who speak the same language.
