Breaking the Waves.

I don't like this movie. It has zero cultural value. It's only purpose is to make you cry. I think Howl's Moving Castle give you much more to think and understand.

You just don't understand acting. It is not about overacting, histerical drama in every second of screen time. Sometimes it is subtle, quiet work. Like, looke at Kate Mara - she really can act, but nobody cares, because she is doing her job, and not trying to steal the movie.
