The film was released in limited copies in 2007 and on DVD in 2008. It received high ratings from the critics and won several awards and received two Academy awards nominations and a Golden Globes nomination. Shockingly, the film performed dismally at the box office and made losses despite being one of the most decorated movies of 2007.
