Title: Exceptional Film
Review: If George Clooney were a personal friend I would have phoned him at once, as soon as I saw the film, to tell him how extraordinary his direction was, how incisive the script, how remarkable the performances. I would have told him I could see the influence of the Coen Brothers --he worked with them, after all, in "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou", which was brilliant-- but that he took this vision much farther, with a perception and a subtlety granted to few. I would hope that Mr. Clooney follows the example set by Robert Redford, a charming actor, but a really exceptional director. We hope to see more of his work, and with luck he will always have this kind of astonishing material as his point of departure, to continue to have us dazzled and at his feet with admiration.
