Saw a matinee this afternoon, and the audience burst into spontaneous applause at several key moments. It's marred by several "Hollywoodish" gimmicky moments, one in particular being conversations between jockeys during the actual races (anyone who's ever seen thoroughbred horses race knows it requires every last bit of strength, focus and concentration to ride these animals, conversation would be impossible, and impossible to hear over the thundering hooves). But there is great, beautifully nuanced acting in the film, particularly by the underrated Chris Cooper and Jeff Bridges. A terrific comic bit role for the always great William Macy, too.It's getting quite the Oscar buzz, and why not? It's a better film than the last 3 best picture winners, IMO.
