the four words waiting to escape my mouth as I watched this film were " I love this film"

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2003)

The last film I can honestly say I fell in love with before I watched this film was Requiem for a Dream (Darren Aronofsky), and I spent a long time searching for another film that touched me in such a way. Always the fan of the film without the happy ending with beautiful camera work, mis-en-scene and a great story with suspense to add to it, this film delivered all the right elements. Giving that I missed the first ten minutes of the film, I really wished I listened to my friend who recommended I watched it properly as he put it on. Regardless of this fact, I was hooked and glued to the screen within minutes and found myself gasping for breath when I sat in pure adoration of some of the composition within this film. I won't ramble too much, but I just have to have it said that the four words waiting to escape my mouth as I watched this film were " I love this film". Norton puts in a stunning performance, and this is a stunning film containing some of the best scenes I've ever seen. A must see.
