If all thrillers were half as good...

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2001)

The Others is an almost excellent thriller. Kidman is excellent in her role, very convincing, and so are the two children, which is rare to see in movies lately. The film is not very frightening, although it contains a couple of shocking scenes. But the best feature is the superb photography; the fog scene in particular is one of the best of its kind, I reckon. The Others undoubtedly deserves numerous Academy Award nominations. One of the best films of 2001.
