Carnal

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2009)

I haven't read the book. That must the reason why my rating is so much better than the average. After all very few movies surpass the expectations set by its book readers.
The on screen chemistry between the lead actors is, whats the word "Carnal and Exotic". The casting, especially for the protagonists of the story is well done. I have to say Kirsten Stewart has found another character which matches the roles she usually plays. The visual effects is rather bland and quickly made me thinking "Oh I am seeing a normal movie after all". Sound and music is good and perhaps require special mention.
All in all a great movie which thought not subtle is quite enjoyable.It remains to be seen, however, how the sequel is gonna fair amidst the new expectations.
