How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Andras: When it came out in 2004 audiences didn’t know what to make of Jonathan Glazer’s haunting and strange follow-up to “Sexy Beast”. The critical re-appraisal has taken a while but it is time to acknowledge this as one of the great film of its decade and one of Kidman’s highlights as an actor.
