Substance defeats flash!

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2001)

In this new century and millennium, a return to intellectualism has made movie goers more demanding and raised the bar for movie makers. The director/writer of THE OTHERS has answered the call and created a mental masterpiece. This movie provides all the hair raising thrills that a true psychological artwork should. What are missing are the tiresome effects that have dulled the viewers' senses and their wits. Nicole Kidman outdoes herself and shows everyone not only what a great beauty she is (an uncanny resemblance to Grace Kelly in this flick) but also what a truly great actress she is. The art and mood in this film are superb. Each moment is filled with a cerebral nibble. Don't miss this one! Regards, Jeneria.
