I just watched it earlier tonight myself and I concur. Looked excellent to me.

Unboxing (not mine) which really shows how nice the packaging is.

For those that care and haven't seen the movie, one of these caps is a pretty huge spoiler.

Also, I'm not a big compression expert, but the Criterion Blu-ray seems pretty comparable to the Lionsgate.

Yeah I hate that it has that pic

Has anyone tried the Panasonic top menu trick for the blu (on a region B player)? Debating importing this but if I can’t access the special features it’ll have to go down in priority.

If someone doesn't get there first I'll let you know when mine arrives.

Can confirm it works for the Blu on a region B Panasonic player.

So I got this and Kane today. Came in a bubble mailer that was wrecked. I allready knew by then but yeah pretty wrecked. Could have been worse but Gems has a broken disc tray so the UHD disc (of course) was loose and has a mark. The packaging itself, which looks gorgeous btw, is dented from corners and the spine has "snapped". Watched it and it played through. Great film, fourth viewing for me, and a very nice transfer. Getting a replacement though.

Kane I haven't watched but wasnt that bad but loose discs as well but this time not the uhd. The packaging is crap for this one with the sleeves but I'll just put the discs in plastic sleeves like in my WKW and other sets that have it. Slipcover was broken, dented and creased but insides apart from loose discs was in good shape. Replacing this one as well still.

The encode on the Liongate is slightly better (for the 1080 disc). The UHD looks great though! I'll probably grab this in the July '22 sale.

I hated that they changed the cover art but admittedly it looks allot better in person.

I didn't know you could watch region 1 blurays on a region 2 panasonic 4k player. Could someone tell me how you do this? Thanks alot.

I don’t think it works with all discs, but when you boot up a locked disc on a region-b (or other) panasonic player and get the region locked message you can press the stop button (to go to the player menu) and then press top menu to bypass the region lock screen and go straight to the disc’s main menu instead.

Thank you for letting me know.

Got this as a blind buy the other day. I cant believe the praise this film is getting, I thought it was absolute shit. I'll be selling/trading it off ASAP.

Nothing wrong with that. Everything isn't for everyone

This was my second time watching this film, and I liked it even more this time. Its a pretty deep film if you look beyond the surface. Looks and sounds amazing on this disc. And seeing that wagon in 4k was amazing

What were some of the issues you had with the film?

[RustinCohle]

Might have to try the New Years challenge again this year with this. Did it last year but was about six seconds off. Trying to time it perfectly so when the clock strikes midnight,

Great movie and great transfer. Watched it last night and am really happy with it.

So far all my orders from Barnes & Noble have arrived in good shape. They were all shipped individually with extra sheets of cardboard in the package for protection. Plus I got them for 50% off. What a time to be alive.

Yea, receiving this in such crappy condition reminded me why I never use Amazon for movies. It literally looks like it was used as a hockey puck at the warehouse. Ran to BN just now and grabbed the sole copy in-store and it looks absolutely pristine.

Gonna return my unopened, damaged copy back to BN on Monday on the way home from work. So glad I took a chance and drove over there in this holiday shopping traffic.This might be the best 4K release of 2021, packaging and all.

This also has the best booklet of any Criterion imo.

The only thing that makes the Lionsgate release better is the option for Spanish subtitles. As someone with a girlfriend who relies on Spanish dubs or subtitles, it's definitely disappointing that Criterion did not include this... at least on the 4K. Maybe it's on the blu-ray.

WOW... just finished the director's commentary and it was EPIC. ONE of the best and most honest I've ever heard. I have a newfound respect for the Safdie bros. The mix of histrionics and brutal honesty in what the performers and crew went through... absolutely next level.
