Saw this last weekend, a really wonderful movie. A times, it managed to create some kind of eerie Twin Peaks-like atmosphere.
Also liked the steelbook, despite it being non-cream.

I thought that too...perhaps it was Mike Patton's score and the wood setting? Obviously it swapped surrealism for more social realism but I got the Twin Peaks feeling earlier in the year when hearing the soundtrack in full.

Yes, the soundtrack is really great and you can never go wrong with a wood setting :D. Didn't know that Mike Patton did the soundtrack until I saw it in the credits. Was a nice surprise, as I already liked the music from watching the trailer.

Especially the first third was very Twin Peaks-like.
 
Bought this as a blind buy based on the crits, but I was pretty disappointed after seeing it. Very strong first act, but the momentum petered out by mid-way through and by the third act it just felt contrived and a bit trite. Great performances all round though, and a nice score.
 
Watched this the other night on my Insignia player by using the code that still works like a charm (though it always seems to take me a few tries to get that extra menu to pop up)

Anyways, decent film. I thought the 2nd half really dragged, to the point where I struggled to stay awake several times. Gripping at first, but quickly lost me. The steelbook is pretty badass though.
 
I cannot take this Studio Canal release seriously, until I see a chip, scratch or spine slash! :p

Your wish is my command. When I first received it, I thought it was part of the artwork, but when I re-looked, I sussed it was a really deep scratch, but under the seal.

It's in my "send back to Zavvi" pile...

My copy should be here in the next few days. I'm worried, like before, that the box to send it will have less marks than the steelbook itself!

P.S.: I'm pretty new to this forum so I don't know if it's okay to post links to Steelbook video presentations on YT - so in case it's not, please contact me and I'll not post videolinks again!

So many times I see our German members complaining about the lack of German audio on UK steelbooks

This is payback :p
