Never let me go... is a film that the masses haven't watched yet and need to.

+10000000000 (Can I do that?)

I love this film! All the performances are fantastic! It's criminal how few people have seen this. I actually skipped school one day to go see it, since the only theatre it was playing at was an hour and a half away.

Another one from 2010: Winter's Bone. Hawkes and Lawrence are amazing. With the exception of Christian Bale in The Fighter, John Hawkes' performance was possibly my favorite 'supporting role' of the year. And Lawrence's was tied with Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine as my favorite female performance.

Agreed. The message Jim sent with that film was revolutionary.

How is it overrated one bit? Nearly every cinephile I know of, online and off, practically condemns the film now yet loved it at the time of release. It's almost impressive how susceptible to groupthink people can be. They go on about how visually amazing it is but the story sucked, characters sucked, dialogue, etc.
