Film is of a style that will appeal to some but not all

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2006)

Watching this film is like reading a novel - I don't read many novels so you will understand why I'm not one of those that rate this film a 10. You need to be patient to watch this film as the plot twists and turns and travels backwards and forth in time, telling and revealing more and more of the storyline as it goes. Yes, the scenery is stunning and it is a beautifully made and shot movie. It seems there is no elation as the credits roll, just a profound sense of loss and sadness. All the plot has been revealed, but I was still left with a feeling that the film had somehow tricked me into watching all this time for such a deflated ending. If this is your thing you'll love it!
