If you are expecting a horror movie, don't go see this one.

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2004)

It was much better than I expected. Shyamalan is a master of the camera, has a unique imagination and is, in my opinion, one of the best movie-makers of the present. Excellent performances by Joaquin Phoenix (he keeps surprising me), William Hurt (his best performance in years), Sigourney Weaver (isn't it wonderful to see women who can age naturally, with serenity and self-confidence?) and, most of all, Bryce Dallas Howard. The movie lives of the affections between characters and the camera, more than the dialogues, tells the story. I'm looking forward to Shyamalan's next movie.
