Mysteriously bewitching.

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2014)

This is a sensual and complex movie about a doctor whose wife's almost-committing infidelity drives him to explore a sexual underworld.
More than just lust and sex, this film is full of drama and the consequences of infidelity and the doctor's forbidden visit of the sexual underworld. The atmosphere of the film is dark and mysterious, as I thought the characters gave a somewhat enticing acting performance. Kidman was good, but, I thought Cruise was a little more on the mediocre side.
Though the film is full of suspense, the plot is a little difficult to follow due to its many twists; the story really tugs at your mind and heart in a haunting way as you try to follow the lead characters and their relationships.
Overall, it's a mysteriously bewitching film. Not one of the greatest out there, but OK to watch on a slow night.
Grade C
