The book left me with a haunted feeling. When I discovered a movie was due out this year (actually in the can for a year) I was very excited. Unfortunatly it seems it was only released in 111 theaters nationwide. I can only hope that once a nomination for an Acadamy award is announced it will be re-released for a much larger audieance than the acadamy. Thanks for the writeup Dylan.

But somehow, this is the first I've heard it's in theaters. How I managed to miss every trailer and avoid all reviews and idle chatter about the movie, I don't know. But thanks for letting me know it's out there, and thanks for this well-written review. I read this book last year (and thought it was very good), and I knew a movie was in the works.
