Elegant and Chilling

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2001)

At first while I was watching this film, it felt very confusing and slow at times but once you get to the ending it all comes together and makes sense. I thought that Nicole Kidman's performance was excellent, and I hope she does become an Oscar contender for 2002. The children's performances were just as good, they seemed to really connect as a family. I suspected from the beginning that there was more to Mrs Mills, Mr Tuttle and Lydia, it just seemed like a given. But the last 10 minutes of the movie is thrilling!!
