very beautifully filmed

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2004)

Wanting to pursue cinematography myself, I have to say, this movie excelled in it. The plot was decent, I enjoyed the movie, I love all of Mr. Phoenix's roles, and the surprise twist, well, really did surprise me (as it should).
When I left the theatre, I had nothing to complain about. Except the ending annoyed me. I wanted it to continue ^^;; I wish I could explain, but I don't want to ruin the movie. But I will say this: I was hoping for a scene in which one of the elders would be discovered, by possibly Lucius Hunt, in costume.
Adrien Brody's role as the village idiot made me smile, especially during light moments such as Ivy's first sign of an attraction to Lucius.
