I saw Brick a couple days ago. I liked it a fair amount. There might have been a bunch going on thematically that I couldn't figure out, or there might have been nothing - I sort of hope it's the former. I watched it with my mom and she liked it, but she thought it was a lot darker than I did - for me, it was basically a comedy because of how transparently absurd the whole movie was, and unlike, say, Coen brothers movies, where there's absurdity but there's maybe bigger, deeper stuff going on, I didn't really see that here (hence the second sentence). But I thought it was a good, really well-shot movie, and I liked the score a lot. The ending was pretty predictable though.
