It was getting overhyped for me for months along with
Broken Flowers as both films gained wide acclaim and awards at the Cannes Film Festival last May. But as the hype started to grow and grow for
Broken Flowers and my attempt to see it was thwarted by a full auditorium, I resigned to hold off on seeing it until it goes to the beer theaters.
As for
Violence, it's a new film from David Cronenberg and I simply couldn't wait, plus the hype hadn't reached a fever pitch level that
Broken Flowers seemed to so quickly.
However, who knows though. If I had missed my opportunity to see
A History of Violence this weekend and then began to be bombarded by acclaim and praise, I might have backed away as well. But the hype doesn't seem to be nearly as strong for
Violence as it was for
Flowers.
