Fantastic

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2004)

It was interesting to see this movie didn't grab everyone. It's not a movie that grabs you, it takes you gently by the hand and shows you a culture completely different from a western culture. One of the best things about this movie it lets you draw your own conclusions about the characters and I found them both immensely likeable. The cinematography was excellent I found it to be smooth viewing. The story was set well back from its frantic busy surrounds, really giving you the feeling of watching it all from a high rise hotel room. A shot that was well communicated.
The relationship in the movie is truly fascinating, it almost made you wish you could follow them back to LA. The spell would of course be broken. It's great a movie to see when your not really in the mood to see a movie! Never before in a movie have I wanted to see less Giovanni Ribisi!!
Its a great movie if you've ever felt that horrible isolation of an overseas hotel bar or airline lounge, this time around there's someone there to rescue you!
