I just watched it for the first time last night, and it was phenomenal. I had heard the buzz about the movie over the last year, but avoided any real plot info so that when I finally saw it I'd be surprised, and hell...the film was a complete surprise. But I still really dug it.
But I definitely hear you on the "depressing" films thing. The middle of the film is really depressing, and a lot of films are like that nowadays, but I think that's what helps make them great. Not every story, or the subject matter the film deals with is pleasant, but it's *real*.
