Goose bumps

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2008)

What a fantastic achievement! I savored every scene, every moment. It took me 4 hours to watch because I kept rewinding to repeat the most luscious lines. They took a simple yet profound premise and slowly milked it for all it's worth. The acting is sublime, the cinematography gorgeous (saving their best work for the most intense scenes). The movie flows so well, it's often as if the actors are reacting emotionally in the only way they possibly could under the circumstances.
This is no movie to rush through, it's not for the impatient. I wouldn't want to watch while I'm feeling antsy or looking for something to dominate my attention. So wait for a peaceful evening, and relax.
