Riveting storyline

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2010)

This movie was very good overall. My favorite foreign film this year.
The child actors are excellent as are the adults.
The story-line kept me riveted to the screen, eager for the next clue to the mysterious and frightening events going on in this town.
The love story between the narrator and the young Nanny in town is also very well done. In fact, many of the characters inspire a strong emotional response, which I myself enjoy in a film.
The film leaves you with just enough to put together your idea of what was going on behind the scenes and doesn't spoon-feed the audience.
Very much an adult movie, I wouldn't recommended it for young adults or children as they may find it hard to follow the significance of some seemly minor events.
