I love this movie. It's not one of the greatest films but it's very surprisingly delightful. It has a surrealistic plot but it also had a lot of real human emotions in it. It's done in a very intriguing way that at times you would be wondering >> is this a comedy, a sad story, a fantasy or a suspense/horror???? Well, it's all of above and done with a smooth natural flow. {{{ Spoiler Alert }}} .... All actors did an amazing job in it, especially the 2 leads. James Franco, once again, is just a terrific terrific actor as a small time criminal who is extremely moody and cruel to her new wife. Sienna Miller also pulled off playing this role as a bubbly chatterbox with unconditional love for her newlywed husband who treats her like she was a nuisance. Franco displayed great acting skill as a stone-cold bad boy and slowly becoming a caring lover only it was too late. { A good lesson here: we must appreciate and cherish what we have when we still have them, for all can be gone the next hour! } He played the role with great control, especially at the ending when he became a caring man. He did it with great contrast but without any overacting.
