very very good

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2001)

The reaction to this film from the general public (mild disdain at the nicest and open hostility at the worst) is disheartening. This is a beautifully made, well-written, nuanced, atmospheric and deliberate film that deserves a lot more respect and a lot more consideration than it has gotten. No, it is not "Sixth Sense Jr.". Yes, it is slow-moving. Yes, it refers to comic books. If you haven't seen it and you like movies that make you work a little bit IGNORE everything that you have heard about this film (including my review) and check it out.
If there was no Sixth Sense to compare it to people would give this film a LOT more credit.
