I'll definitely watch it due to the cast, but probably not until it hits video.

That cast......

This movie is getting some insane hype from critics - being called the best film in years and leaving audience members sobbing messes by the end.

Fassbender apparently gives the best performance of his career and it's expected to be a front runner for a number of catagories at the oscars. Can't wait. Sounds like it could be one for the ages if the reviews are at all to be believed.

I'll never understand why people go to movies just to cry & weep.
