My Comment:
Despite of the ordinary plot, Melissa Leo and Christian Bale grabbed oscars for their performance. I must admit, I was surprised by Christian Bale with his appearance which was stunning. However, I still don't know why this movie got nominated for best picture. It was so ordinary compared with other nominated movies. Overall, it's only good but not extraordinary.
