Then decide if you still think WWB is the best film of 2008...'The Class' is IMO a much better film. But like I said this is all IMO.

'The Edge of Heaven' I disagree with your assessment of this film "it is inexcusably heavy-handed" when it is actually atmospheric and deeply human.

PS "it uses too many facile plot devices" etc. I gave up on these type of technical/formulation criticisms of film and theatre a while back and I've been concentrating on gleaning the humanity and spiritual qualities of these art forms. Like 'Gran Torino' for instance, it is a flawed film in a few ways IMO but I chose to watch around these flaws and catch the glimpses of truth and beauty that Eastwood offered.
