I really, really liked this movie, and I particularly thought the way information was revealed over the film was engaging. It often felt like more of a thriller, in that you're trying to figure out what the next piece of information could be, minus all the schlocky stuff that comes with the average thriller. It was very unique to me in that way.

Thoroughly engrossing storytelling, and the idea that ran throughout of 'some truths being better left unsaid' was enjoyable. Add in the morality of all the various decisions made throughout the film, and it leaves you with plenty of stuff to think about. I've seen about five films so far, likely with another five or so to come, but I can't see anything topping this.
