I like the poster.
More than I can say for the film.
I hate you.
The end.
That poster is okay, but I hope the film is better. I'm really looking forward to it (Laura Linney!).
Not bad at all. Like you say, it's not like there are many ways to sell this film. I think it encapsulates the mood and texture quite well.
