Best movie I've seen so far this year. And I go to the movies twice a week....

This is one of the scenes I remember the most from this beautiful, quiet, slow burn, subtle, poignant film. Shame of any kind is indeed not a healthy condition at all. "Life is a state of mind." :) I love how Sam Mendes explored the theme of mental illness with such tenderness. One of my favorite directors, and this film is worth a watch, no matter what anyone else says.

I loved this movie, when I saw it in theatres yesterday this scene struck me as moving

I'm wondering for those who saw it at film festivals, what do you think of the film?
