This movie is basically a satire of the American west and the crazy people who live there - here in my case.
Contrary to some other reviewers - the script of this movie is a work of art - the acting nothing short of total excellence.
It's the kind of movie that deserves an academy award - much like Mullholland Drive did - but the academy seldom gives awards too truly brilliant movies.
I'm not writing this review to explain the plot - but just too put some words down on paper stating how really good this movie is.
Perhaps if anything the movie - the script - the acting - is all too beautiful - too intelligent and too brilliant - because apparently some people - some reviewers - lack a soul or have an empty one and simply can not see outwardly what does not exist within.
The mesmerizing acting of Jennifer Tilly is worth the price of admission in itself - but all the acting in this movie goes beyond just good.
