Outstanding performances in outstanding film

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2000)

This is what makes people love movies in Cinemas. We all went with expectations, just knowing the film had got good critics, but we were still all astonished. The boy is more than fabulous in his play. He's so real that we all went right into his world, without knowing it. Superb filming, story, acting, feeling... They simply make too few films of this standard. Bruce Willis makes his best performance ever. Never thought he had so much in him in such a role! It touches and scares this film, without flares it is. The end of it one can discuss, but with or without it, this film work is just incredible. Even if you hadn't seen the end you couldn't possibly be untouched of the setting. Brilliant.
