Well, I liked it a lot -- but there's just this one thing..

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2005)

Shyamalan's films are always visually impressive and I thought the cinematography here was just beautiful. And young Miss Howard will be a BIG star; a demanding role, excellently performed.
I've read all the comments here (so far) and no one has focused on this issue: How, pray tell, could a blind girl make a solo trek through the forest all alone? How could she tell what direction she was going at ANY time? Oh, once she found the road I could believe she could stay on it -- but how in the world could she have found the road? What did I miss? Notwithstanding that impossible "suspension of disbelief" moment I thought The Village was an excellent film (and a worthwhile rental).
