Beautiful film

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2005)

I personally think this is one of M. Night's best yet. This is a stunning movie with a lot of attention spent on the sets and costumes and the background. No one seems to appreciate the kind of time and money it takes to do a period piece--not to mention doing it in a way that can be felt and believed.
The biggest complaint I hear is 'I figured it out in the first 20 minutes'. Well--I figured things out very early on, but it didn't spoil it for me in any way, shape, or form. We go to the movies for entertainment--to put a bit of magic back in our lives.
Go and close your eyes; let yourself go. I loved the movie both in form and for the beautiful score.
