Wow...really? I've never heard of anyone that didn't like that movie. I honestly enjoyed it and thought it was fantastic. It's a more subtle story than what most people are used to. Instead of thinking it's a narrative, it's more of a voyeuristic glimpse into a life of two people for a week or so. There are lots of nice touches (no names, music integration) to the film.

Even at the Oscars this year when it won for best song, you could tell that every person in the audience had just HUGE respect for that movie.
