One Paragraph Review: Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire is the best movie of 2008. There, I said it. I know it cleaned up at the Oscars but it really deserved too. The movie is entirely uplifting, yet is riveting and thrilling up until that satisfying ending. The acting is tremendous. The editing supports and strengthens the other elements of the film, rather than pull them down. The music is incredible. With the exception of Heat and the Big Lebowski, I can't think of any other films where I finished the movie and wanted to hit rewind and watch it all over again. Slumdog Millionaire is one of these movies. Tremendous film.
