Very interesting, but only once you finished watching it

Rating: 5/10 (23 August 2002)

I don't have much to say about this film. It had a very claustrophobic feel to it, lacking overview at times, and very few characters. Not that it made it a bad film or anything. The actors all did pretty good job, though I had a dislike of Nicole Kidman's character. What I suspect was the downfall of the film, from my point of view anyway, was that you never really get what the story is about. That is, until at the end, and let me tell you, if you know how it ends, the film is ruined for you (I think). Overall, has the feeling of someone having a great idea (i.e. the ending), and then not managing well enough to write an interesting story! 5/10
