I Drink Your Milkshake
There was blood. Rarely do I leave a movie theater in a bad mood, but this was a dark and depressing tale. Excellently told. Now I can't stop reflecting on it.

""In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. You can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. And is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? And does that mean you should eat your supper raw?"
Maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "So what you're saying is . . . I shouldn't play with fire," she said at last.
"Of course you should," said One-Eye gently. "But don't be surprised if the fire plays back.""— Joanne Harris

Best word to describe it? Insane.
The whole movie? Not at all. The character? Quite probably, in the end. But the more time passes, the more I appreciate the quality of the film.
We even went bowling tonight. There was no blood.
It was a very, very good movie, but I disagree that it wasn't insane. From beginning to end.
Dude, don't post a video of the end of the movie!
It doesn't give anything away.
No County may be stylistically better, but this one had more emotional impact. The way Daniel and Eli used each other and made each other admit the truths about themselves. The ending defines the title. Dark and depressing, yes, but I was too awed to leave in a bad mood.
