top notch

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2007)

This is a real winner, and the only reason I cannot go with a 10 is because I had to fast forward and rewind a number times to try and understand what was said. It is full of whispering in thick British accents, not a good combo for me even with the volume full blast, and there is still a couple spots where I'm still not clear what was said. Other than that, is it a brilliant story that offers subtle hints to point to the ending but you'll still be surprised. IMO, Alakina Mann, the little girl who played Anne, upstaged the rest, though Kidman was plenty good. I sure hope this young British girl (near an adult now) continues in acting as she is an ace.
