marvelous

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2004)

I have never been disappointed by anything Johnny Depp ever did. What makes this film really special is how magic it is able to create with its content and its subtle, powerful performances. Julie Christie and an amazing cast help give the story dimensions and ground it reality. Hope the academy members recognizes this fine work and honor it accordingly, especially the work of that young actor who plays Peter. He was truly remarkable. This is a lovely movie that will make you believe with its gentle touches and the use of real emotions, unlike some overdone and over the top work out there where CGI kills human emotions.
Beautiful score, gorgeous photography, and outstanding acting... a remarkable work of art.
