Schizophrenic composite of "Close Encounters" and "Song of Bernadette"

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2000)

The film is a schizophrenic composite of a science-fiction "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"-type film and a crisis of faith-type film. As always, Jodi Foster is a delight. This 150 minute film, in the end, left me scratching my head--and not in the way that it wanted to.
