What do you want me to say? OK; I want to see the movie. Now when can we make that happen?

I saw LET THE RIGHT ONE IN at Tribeca this year and while there’s no doubt it’s a good movie this is clearly a case of the hype machine getting a little ahead of itself - well that and the selection at Tribeca this year blew (as it has for the past 5 or 6 years – zing!) Keep in mind the festival opened w/ BABY MAMA so that should give you an idea of Tribeca’s prominence. Again, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is a solid movie but it clearly benefited from nothing else at the festival. Solid camera work, solid direction, a great ending, some good gore – but overall the movie is a little slow. And no, I’m not confusing “atmosphere” with a movie being just plain slow.

Well, I think you are...but hey, that's just me!

I have to agree with shamrock33. I saw the film at Tribeca and really enjoyed it. However, it has its weaknesses, and I was surprised that it won. It's very much worth seeing, but I agree that it needs tightening up. Too many threads that can't be developed in enough depth, yet slow down the pace. Again, a really good film, especially in comparison with most vampire movies, but not a flawless classic.
