I think you are going to need more than one major dissenter to qualify a backlash, Vince.
The film that hit most top 10 lists, almost universally praised, and I personally adored. Sure, it'll get a wee backlash from non-cinephiles (most films do!), and even a few of us HTF members, but it's so pointless to worry about people's opinions, particularly when it's so difficult to help them change it. (even if we were so bold as to think we should..)
And then again, there are those who indeed have "quirky" tastes, who won't like it. So what? I'm truly sorry you hated it Joe.People deal with isolation in a different culture in many different ways. This made it merely seem more real to me. I may not concur with him, but I understand why he does as he does. What a pair of performances!
#3 of the year.. and a lock for my collection. Bloody brilliant..
