Now this is what I call acting...

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2007)

Nice, introspective movie, with no action scenes or special effects for a change. Instead, with good dialog, character building and some great acting. What Angelina Jolie has done in this film is awesome. It is one of the best acting I have seen in years! Winona Ryder is convincing as Susanna, and I would also like to mention Elisabeth Moss ("The West Wing") who did a good job in a difficult role as Polly. I was surprised how low key Whoopi Golberg's role was and how little she stands out in this motion picture.
What ruins the overall judgment a little is the ending with it's typically 'Hollywoodian' basement scene climax which was totally unnecessary. Otherwise a very nice 'actors' film, definitely worth watching.
