thanks for the head's up, chris...
bought the disc and watched it last night.
understated, yet compelling and surprisingly affecting.
remarkable in its ability to subvert expectations through the numerous convolutions that persist right through the end credits.
possibly the best film i'd seen in 2009.
it still lingers with me as i write...
