^ I saw it on Wednesday (as well as Princess and the Frog, which is AMAZING. Been listening to the soundtrack for hours and hours on Spotify).
There's some utterly wonderful stuff in the film. Firth is about as far away from his usual typecast self as I've seen him. He gives off this fantastic sad vibe throughout the film, and really hurts you for laughing at the funny bits
If only one Oscar was to be given to the film (the film itself has had several nominations, including one for the score) though, I'd give it to the cinematographer. There are more fabulous little moments in this film than I could count, all of it giving off this almost dream-like sense of emptyness that George feels, with the screen almost devoid of colour when he's sad, and filling up quietly when he gets reminded of what makes him happy.
I was also very impressed by the music, done by what appears to be a total unknown. Here's a sample.

Most intellectually stimulating film I've seen in ages, and definitley worth the price of a ticket or four.
