Sick, perverted, and depressive...

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2004)

...yet one of the best movies I've seen this year.
Great acting by the four core people in the movie, excellent dialogue that ranges from funny in the first part of the movie to vulgar later on. However, I think that the movie would be absolutely nothing without the excellent play of the actors, especially Natalie Portman who continues to amaze me. I even liked Julia Roberts in this one, normally I cannot stand her.
As for the story, I do not want to give too much away...it is a twisted French-style movie with weird relationship depictions. It is about love at first sight, which can be -by itself- a pretty corny topic. However, this movie never gets corny.
It was certainly not at all what I had expected it to be, but I loved every minute of it...
