The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: conformingly raw

If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend because it may be easier to brace for what's coming, when you know what you're looking for.  I appreciate how closely the film was adapted, given its strong violence-against-women theme.  Though it is harder to handle in film than in a book (with a lack of imagination and an ability to skip pages), the underlying mystery was just as captivating.  And Rooney Mara was as awesome and maladjusted as I expected Lisbeth to be on the screen.
Verdict: It's the holiday's sensation (see it!)
