    Easily my favorite performance by Pacino and director work
    This movie will require many revisits to fully appreciate it.

    Tempted to call it 'My room' or heh - 'My room with a view'.

    No spoilers here - not that this movie has any.

    Do not miss this experience.

    Forget waiting for Godot - I think he shows up in this one.

    Just a masterpiece.

    I really don't have any words beyond that, short of Thank you Al Pacino for working on this and bringing it to light.

    All I can say is - watch this, maybe watch it over some period of time - in pieces.
