Fine. Call me way behind the times, but just this week I saw Sling Blade for the first time. Ok, now I know what all the hub-bub was about. It was one of those Netflix instant view movies, so I started watching it and couldn't drag myself away. It's a fascinating but brooding story that slow-burns with an inevitable sense of dread toward the climax. The music by Daniel Lanois was perfectly suited to the Southern atmosphere and the emotional content.
I'd rate it 5/5.
