Intense, but flawed

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2001)

A very good film. Heart-breaking. Chilling. Especially Ellen Burstyn who turns in a wonderful performance. I would have liked to see the other three characters developed better, but its seems the director was more concerned with the cimematography than with the acting. That was just one of his flaws. The other was the editing, which was great a times (especially at the end), but at other times he needed to slow down a bit. He is obviously a product of the MTV generation just like I am. That's not bad, but its definately telling and teaches bad habits.
Anyway, I recommend this film to everyone who doesn't like the typical mainstream movie. 9/10
