Angel ,'Time Bomb'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

This one's tailor-made for the US since there is no dialogue until the very end.
BTW, I love the tagline on the poster of Adèle and the pterodactyl facing off, which translates literally to "one of these two will lose their feathers" but uses an expression meaning "get burnt" or "lose everything".
So basically some people liked it...others didn't?
