beautiful, balanced, poised.

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2000)

This film is a true masterpiece. Despite all of the characters being utterly unpleasant, the relationships and interactions work amazingly well. As you debate with yourself and others about the morals and right/wrongs of the film and characters, you realise that most of the 'what if' points were subtly included, and you become more and more sucked into the situations! The first part of the film seems slow and slightly drags, but it soon becomes apparent that the backgrounds are needed to make the remainder of the film work.
I look forward to the DVD being released with 'added material', it will certain become part of my collection.
This film is a 10 without hesitation, I only wish I had seen it on the big screen!
