Finally. For the first time in quite a while I really liked a movie I got from Netflix. In this case it was the winner of last year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. Weirdly, this is only the 2nd one of the last 5 winners I've seen. But this was vastly better than the overrated Barbarian Invasions. And generally, it's one of the best films I've seen in the last couple of years, foreign language or not. I did have one not exactly minor problem with it. The plot seemed entirely too convenient in parts (and there are some flow problems). But other than that the whole things was very well done - the acting, the music, the photography, the design and movement. It's a really well made piece of work. And sure, it's a nice political statement too.
