Featured review
The film was trashed by most, but not all critics, and lost like 40 million dollars.
I found it engrossing, beautifully acted, and directed with imagination, nuance and touching sensitivity.
I want very much to encourage people to watch it, so I will avoid spoilers which is not easy to do in discussing this film.
Although it is rightly classified as a drama, it is in many ways a mystery, and like the best mysteries, the clues are all there, but the story itself becomes so compelling that the viewer is too involved in what is happening on the screen to put the clues together and solve the mystery.
Please watch it and decide for yourself. It really deserves serious attention. After you have watched it and thought about it for a while, go to YouTube and watch one of several analyses of the film which may help you appreciate how skillful a film this really is.
