"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" 2011 ★★★★

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is a film that teeters on the edge of being a classic and a cautionary tale about excess. It manages to be compelling, frustrating, and visually arresting all at once. For its audacity and artistry, if not for its coherence, it earns a 4 out of 5 stars.
