I saw it last year and I remember giving it a 65, which is pretty good/OK,
but everyone I know seems to love it (plus the critics are also praising
it). There is a review by M Sicinski which I found to be better than the
movie itself:

Mm, I'm sorry if this has already been pointed out, but if you have
mentioned the movie because of its theme (original vs copy) I would suggest
F for Fake by Orson Welles (his best movie, imo).
