I liked it a great deal (though it was definitely flawed). If you like Scorsese, I'd say go for it.

Yes. Great acting, directing and maybe the best use of music (in my opinion) since The Shining.

There were quite a few critics who beat it up for that (amongst other things). But I agree with you. I thought it was perfectly atmospheric.

I really liked Shutter Island too. That's one island you don't want to be on.

Christopher Nolan makes good use of music in his movies.

I've had my eye on that for awhile. Be sure to report back with how good it is. 94% on the ol' Tomatometer means it should be fantastic. Throw in that it was filmed in the Ozarks and it's an extra incentive to see it.
