Nice visuals, good acting, poor script

Rating: 5/10 (18 July 2009)

Many posters seem to consider this film as an immediate classic. Personally I found it to be very good aesthetically, with good acting, particularly by Weisz. However, the script is most definitely not at the same level, which sadly makes it a disappointment.
Unfortunately for the director, the storyline does not work and does not warrant a 90 minute film. I found it repetitive and tedious and certainly not poetic or enigmatic as other comments suggest.
The idea is good and the themes explored very relevant and this could have been a great film. Sadly, I think that it will age very quickly and will be forgotten soon.
