Excellent almost all over...

Rating: Null/10 (8 June 2002)

I loved this film. I have heard people say that the mathematic element of it is ridiculous, the dialogue terrible and the acting worse. I don't agree. Some of the acting was indeed bad, especially most of Nicole De Boer (Leaven). The only reason I thought this was because of her abrupt character change, going from frightened little girl to sarcastic, somewhat prejudiced, annoying math brat, then taking on the change to become wise woman of the world. The dialogue, well, I thought Worth's was excellent, but the others' did slip a little sometimes. As for the people who insist you have to be intelligent, I definitely disagree with that. If you are very intelligent, it seems that the number methods etc. are picked apart, totally missing the human nature part of the plotline. I'm not saying you have to be as thick as two short planks, but maybe a little 'innocence' or similar is needed to watch this film and pick up all of the aspects.
