I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This film tells the story of a female playwright, who is preparing for the opening of her play. She experiences weird occurrences, and she begins to doubt her sanity."The Letter" tries to be super artistic, as evidenced by super slow pace and the substitution of scenes with narration by the main character, I wish there was no narration, and they just show the events normally. The narration is plain and devoid of emotion, it does not give the first person emotional account that is expected. Winona Ryder does not look convincing as a playwright or as a crazy person. In fact, she looks to pretty and too sane for her role. The so called suspense fails miserably, because the strange events are presented in such subtle manner. There is no intensity, engagement or thrill. The whole film is a complete bore. I don't understand the beginning, middle or the end. The suppose twist at the end is so laughable and unbelievable, because there is no motive described anywhere in the film. Even when taking the low budget into account, "The Letter" could have bee so much better.

This movie is most certainly not trash. You must, however, be willing to give it your undivided attention. There is a plot and if you pay attention you will pick up on the subtle contributors to the plot. All of the performances are excellent and raw. Though the movie is very artsy I think it is for good reason and not just for the sake of being artsy. I believe all of the elements of the film are crucial to the storyline. I am a huge fan of James Franco and of course he delivers, as does Winona Ryder. For fans of either actors this is certainly a film to add to your must sees. Movies that are thought provoking may not be as exciting as some but they are worthwhile. This is one such film and should be recognized for its merit. I recommend it for film buffs everywhere!

I'm not surprised that such a movie is underrated in the culture of the hunger games and 3d Movies. I never expected I would ever see again a high standard movie and after the movie was over I was shocked.. without spoiling this movie reflects almost accurately that 'situation' Martin finds herself in. I longed for such films which leave a need to think and criticize reality as it is.. what is a dream..are we real..do we see everything as we should..This movie is no less then dogville in style. I hail Winona ryder for her honest and excellent acting. I think this is her best movie!Definitely worth watching!

One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. It is total garbage. Absolutely nothing goes on for the better part of 90 minutes. There are a lot of artsy scenes, floaty music scores, and incredibly boring (but supposedly deep) moments, all probably trying to make the case that this is an important and meaningful movie. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's film school crap...freshman year of film school. Then, at the end of the movie, you find out Rider's character is nuts. Great.If you need to do something for 90 minutes, spend your time more wisely and go get a root canal.
