Memorable

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2006)

A powerful movie that you will remember and find yourself referring to in the distant future, like Blade Runner. Another strong performance by Natalie Portman. I have been a fan of her work since her debut in "Beautiful Girls" (1996). Her political transformation is at the heart of this movie. The story speaks to a world of political repression by a Big Brother government in a world of the future. I think that the movie appears now in response to our eroding liberties in the new millennium. I expect more movies with this rebellious theme to appear in the next few years. This is the only movie that I have rated an "A" so far this year (Aug.2006).
