I'm sorry I will be brutally honest here.
I think the cinematography doesn't look good at all.
I'm a newbie, I joined recently. This was one of the first movies I watched here. That was some weeks ago. I had visited very few threads back then and I had no idea what a RED was. I watched the movie assuming it was just another DSLR. And there was nothing in the movie to make me think otherwise. Same cold shiny look as any DSLR. Now that I’ve re-watched the movie, knowing what a RED is, I think I can spot some differences. But I still think there are a lot of over-exposed surfaces. I can't believe they’re asking $50,000 for something that looks only marginally better than a DSLR.
I also thought Soderbergh's latest movies, “Che part 2”, “Girlfriend experience” and “The informant”, looked like crap (“Girlfriend experience” looks a lot like DSLR to me). I was baffled to learn that Peter Jackson's “The lovely bones” was also shot with a RED. I thought the cinematography was gorgeous (at least in the real world sequences). So, I double checked on IMDB and it looks like they used proper film too:

Back to “Accidental art”: I like the actors, especially the guy who plays the plumber.
