I can't figure out why I think the movie Seven Pounds is very good but not great. I really liked the dialog, the directing, the acting, and the premise/twist, but felt somewhat unsatisfied when the credits rolled. Does it have something to do with losing the main character? I felt the same way about Children of Men, which also had a bittersweet ending. The Empire Strikes Back has an ending far more bitter than sweet, so maybe I'm on the wrong track, since it's possibly the greatest movie of all time, but I'm a tad too young to remember the experience of that ending without the knowledge of what was to come (Ewoks and redemption and so forth).
I don't want to make whatever mistake Nieporte did that keeps it out of IMDb's Top 250, if he actually made a mistake.
