Outstanding Cameron Crowe Effort!

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2001)

I think that if you have seen "Abre Los Ojos" you will greatly enjoy this film. If not, you will probably have some clarity issues your first go around. This adaptation adds many more levels than the original, and Penolope Cruz is far stronger in her second try at Sofia. Cameron Diaz is tremendous in the film, a vast upgrade on Nuria of "Abre". I was amazed that Crowe was able to set such a different tone with "Vanilla Sky". If you like complex, ambitious movies you will love this one, if you want something light... well, let's just say skip this.
