Wanting something more

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2001)

While the film featured some superb acting and an eerie resonance which seems to adhere to the characters, the film goes nowhere. The entire piece is exposition to something larger, more grandiose; and that something never comes.
Shyamalan likes to obscure his characters and their actions with the angles, the light, the general darkness of rain, or shadow, but unfortunately in the process, he manages also to obscure the purpose and poise of the film as well.
