Really excited to see this...
I thought Tristram Shandy was one of last year's best films, and though I had issues with Guantanamo, Winterbottom remains a truly exciting director.
I find it irritating that so many critics complain that they simply can't separate Jolie's celebrity status from her work on film. I happen to think she is one of the most distinctive and exciting American actresses, and a real tonic to milquetoast 'starlets' that seem to come and go so often. Jolie might have a distinct, slightly limited range, but its a range which is poorly served in American film and she projects a strength and intelligence which is thrilling when harnessed to the right role.
