Brilliant.

Rating: Null/10 (13 October 1998)

Simply put, this was one of the most brilliant, unbelievable films I have ever seen. I had never read the Stephen King novella, but in a way I'm glad I didn't. I honestly can't think of a single thing I would criticize about this movie: the acting was amazing, the dialogue incredible, the score moving. I knew a lot of people who hadn't seen this, and I recommended it to all of them. Most of them came back and told me how much they loved it and they couldn't believe they hadn't seen it sooner. This is one of those movies that will be remembered forever by those who have seen it. Those who haven't are definitely missing out on a superb piece of work. I enjoy it more every time I see it, and can't believe it didn't win the Oscar (it deserved many!) when it first came out.
