America draws in The Square

Nash Edgerton's debut feature The Square is getting a limited US release in 2010. It's also got a lot of love from Ain't it Cool News' Harry Knowles, whose enthusiastic quote graces the domestic one sheet.

IMDB puts the US release at 9 April 2010, so here's hoping it gets a better run overseas than it did here. I saw the film back at the 2008 Sydney Film Festival (and blogged about it here) and it stands up well in my memory as a taut, well paced thriller.

Did anyone else catch The Square on the festival circuit or during it's all too brief theatrical run? How do you think it will play with US audiences?
