A view to a ... up to you to decide

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2005)

I could wonder if the film is a psychological drama with the hints towards the maternity psychosis or a mainstream horror movie. But why should I ? All included is the load impressive enough to make an interesting reading /a quote from Basic Instinct; words of sympathy for Mr.Eszterhas, he's made me quit smoking/. I cannot sympathize with girls like Rosemary, because it's in row with my convictions, but the actors are really good here, and all of them. The theme of love was overpowering. Love for husband, child. Hmm, the child above all. The independent love with the sacrifice of the very own personal grounds upon which all had been built in past, was touching and hurting. It's so hard to bring it here in our lives. Farrow and Cassavetes made me believe they were in trouble as well as their support did /Gordon, Blackmer, Evans/. Occasionally Mia Farrow was overly realistic so that I was ready to sign off but I didn't. /though I must confess, the name, Mia that is, has a reservation for a soft spot in my heart/. And the final moments, with the baby crying in the cradle, were tears bringers as no other film had done so. With Krzysztof Komeda's lullaby came comfort and ease. A great movie mostly underestimated.
