Toronto Real Estate Agents | Julie Kinnear

I had heard all the buzz through the movie awards season about how this was the one to beat, so it was a must see before the Oscars – we caught the matinee the day of! I had no idea quite how gory and violent this was going to be. That would be my only negative. It is well paced, very intense, and very well filmed. From the sound of boots on the sand, the visual of the parched desert, and Javier Bardem’s long suffering haircut, this was very memorable. Josh Brolin was excellent. The Coen brothers did it again. Enjoy!

This is a good movie – personally I thought it started out a bit slow, and a bit confusing, but by the end the twists and turns were very climactic and exciting. The handsome George Clooney plays a lawyer, and it is really an ideal role for him. He’s great with dialogue. Tilda Swinton was the surprise Oscar winner for best supporting actress, but anyone who saw the movie would have appreciated the win. Great cast.
