Utterly Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2001)

The first time I saw this movie I had to go to bed immediately afterward I was so completely and utterly emotionally exhausted. The sheer brilliance of this movie completely floored me and despite the fact that I have watched it several times since (we have it on video) I still feel much the same way at the end. Brilliant casting, brilliant story, brilliant direction and brilliant emotional manipulation. What can I say? Watch this movie, but don't intend on doing anything afterwards because your soul will be so mangled that you will not be able to do anything other than sit in stunned silence with genuine tears rolling down your face. However many stars that a review allows this movie deserves.
