Gripping

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2002)

This is probably one of the best films i have seen for quite a while. I was very surprised to see Eric Sykes in the film and he did quite well in the small part he had. But Nicole Kidman was outstanding and the two children excelled, and i don't think i have ever been so engrossed in the final 20 minutes of a film.
It's just one of those films you want to talk about for ages after. If there is one fault, it is the part half way through when Christopher Eccleston appears as Kidmans husband. A bit pointless and they could have changed that part of the story a little.
Apart from that, a great film and that should have been Kidmans OSCAR nomination. I bet you jump at the wardrobe bit.
