I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
