Interesting

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2002)

This is an interesting movie. Without the first two hours, the last half hour makes no sense, and without the last half hour, the first two hours is rather bizarre. Seen as a film, putting the two parts together makes an interesting movie.
But, the first two hours never drew me into the movie. I was never intrigued by the characters though it kept me interested enough to continue watching. Though in truth there are a few excellent scenes (such as in Silencio and the audition scene). Oddly enough, i remember thinking at one point the lead actress (Naomi Watts) was either a really BAD actress or a really GOOD one. Halfway through I figured she was quite bad... until I saw the rest of the movie in which it is obvious she is very good.
