Notes: 

Commendably directed, costume-fitted, scored, and written. Standing ovation for Ben Affleck as director and Alan Arkin for his performance. This film is actually overrated, but admittedly among the best of 2012.

After watching this film:

You'll find time to use the phrase "Argo fuck yourself".
