An excellent film!

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2006)

I liked this film. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman do a great job. Lot's of social commentary, even when you aren't looking for it, that straddles the political divide and makes you think. Some nifty plot twists and a lot of well done imagery.
I think this film will alienate some people, as there is (at least in my opinion), a definite liberal leaning to a lot of the film. However, the film presents these views well, and does not rub in it's ideas, but instead offers them up for both praise and criticism.
There's still other performances to see this year, but I think both Weaving and Portman should get nominations for best actor and actress. This film could have just as easily been a clunker had the performances been poor.
Overall, a great film, definitely worth a viewing...and remember, God is in the rain. :)
