i bought this bluray criterion edition. i saw the movie initially on netflix earlier this year and was happy to know that it was getting a release on bluray, let alone a criterion release. i purchased it and am very pleased with the whole package. i love the bluray casing, dual slip cover, the booklet has great snapshots of the characters that were taken only for promotional marketing stuff. as much as i loved the bluray transfer, the original trailer, video essay and some other side bonus features, i kind of wish it had more. sure it comes with 2 short films from the director, but i feel like the bonus features like the behind the scenes could of been longer or had more from the actors. but i'm very pleased overall.
