This probably counts for 2011, since it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Pic this year.

Anyway, I saw this at a special screener last year. I remember appreciating its story elements, but the film is awash in cliches. I'd possibly yay it, but it's rather overrated.

2012 US release. Hmm, yeah, you're right, it got a general limited release in February. I had assumed it had gotten one last fall.

Saw this more than a year ago. Thought it was pretty great, especially Schoenaerts' troubled anti-hero. Pretty much the only criticism in Belgium was hurled at the two Walloon car mechanics. All of their scenes are awful and makes one wonder what the director was thinking. I'm not sure I understand how it's awash in cliches though.
