7.0 out of 10? Really?

Twisting, exuberantly minimalist, expertly acted and directed with wit and elegance, somewhat disturbing, dealing with challenging themes... Yet IMDb users vote it lower than, say, the whole PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN trilogy, which has minimal artistic qualities in comparison.

Why am I not surprised?

Right on, Gus. I personally think that you shouldn't be able to see the rating until after you vote. I think a lot of ratings are just people going with the crowd.

Amen to the above. Too many browsers accessing this website must be kids who only ever come into contact with the world via a screen. I give it a `9'.
