Slow at first but worth the wait!

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2001)

I was really looking forward to this movie both because of Nicole Kidman's brilliant acting and also the storyline, I had see a preview at a movie a week ago. For the first 30 minutes or more I was worried I built it up in my mind too much and would be disappointed but I was NOT! I really only want to tell you that it was a terrific story and fabulous acting by all......I do want to say more than that because anything I say could spoil it for you. The only thing I found which was remotely close to being a fault with this movie was the darkness it seemed to be shot in through out. It made sense that it appeared that way but as a movie viewer, I am just not accustomed to that.
I would suggest that you do NOT drink before or during this movie because you really dont want to miss a second! But popcorn is a great idea, just hold on tight to the bag! :-)
I think that Nicole may take home an Oscar for this film!! I will applaud her if she does :-)
