One of the better movies I've ever seen, based on several factors:
-The way it was shot was perfect for what they were trying to do. A couple of the people I went with seemed to think the B&W detracted from the whole thing somehow (though they forgave it based on the other merits of the film). I thought the use of colour on the whole was perfect, and the contrast in certain shots astounding. I'd see it again in theatres just to look for those little pieces of emphasis.
-The Characters, especially but not only the protagonists in each part, were not only interesting and well played, but the way the writing and plot worked to bring them across in a third of a movie was impressive. And I'm sorry, but Kevin was one of the coolest bad guys ever.
-I need to spend more time thinking about plot, but it was certainly engaging, and really fit what they were trying to do with the movie. In fact, everything fit, to my eye... however, I wasn't particularly analytical, since I was just trying to enjoy it. I'd have to see it again.
-The attitude and atmosphere of the film as a whole.
I could go on, but I have a feeling this will fill out as I see it a few more times. At least once or twice more in theatres. If this doesn't become a HUGE cult film, I'll be downright shocked. As it is, it's right up my alley.

Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so.
And I�'m tired...
I should not have let you go.
