People are being way too harsh

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2008)

As a thriller, I liked it, I think overall the story telling, the atmosphere worked very well, and for a few moment, it was pretty damn creepy. However, what was drawing me back was the way people killing themselves in the movie. I just don't buy it that when people are losing their mind, speaking confused and losing sense of direction can execute pretty complicated suicide. The part when a man killed himself by lying in front of the grass cutter, I thought it was hilarious. Creepy but hilarious. Another thing was to emphasize that people are losing their sense of direction the director made some characters walking backward. Perfect straight backward. I think this is even harder than walking forward. To me it demonstrated a better sense of direction... I thought the problem was that at some point the director was a little too deep in his own world that he cut some sort of connection with reality. Lady in the water was the first movie that made me feel this way. Nonthless, the movie was well paced, the emotion was well played and the characters were more or less believable. It definitely deserve better than some of the harsh criticism.
