As for the "pretentious" aspect ratio...? I was too busy watching Fraser's excellent performance to notice.

It is another entry in the long list of "important" Hollywood films about an awkward social outcast whose personal misery is somehow supposed to be... what? Illuminating? Entertaining? Thought-provoking? At this point, it is beyond tiring to have different variations of the same character rehashed over and over again.

Yeah, it’s not as big a jump as from DVD to Blu, but you sound like someone who was defending DVD’s 13 years ago.
