Sorry, this movie sucks

Fresh and Exciting

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's far from a perfect film, but I have to give it a 10 to combat the mediocre ratings because of a collective bias against M. Night's hit-or-miss films. The twists and reveals aren't as satisfying as those of The Sixth Sense, and there's some unfortunately shoddy editing in the climactic scenes (all those establishing shots of the forest take us out from the tension...)But this movie is my go-to example for how to portray romance. Writers take note. There are various forces that keep the two lovers apart from each other throughout; it's through DISTANCE, rather than through kissing and sex scenes, that keeps the tension strong. and that tension only adds to the thrills. And the violin score is equally thrilling, haunting and gorgeous. One of the most beautifully scored films ever.Does it deserve a 10? No but somewhere between 7.0 - 7.7 would be more fair.

...is the lead character. Like in each film of M. Night Shyamalan. The second - the structure of plot. Not thr last - the performances. But, maybe, the lead ingredient is the feeling than all is known. As a sort of familiar experiences, resurected from old lectures and ambiguous memories.

This movie is good. It isn't amazing and oscar worthy but it is worth seeing. Liked it better than sixth sense.

Wonderful atmosphere, magic and reality perfectly mixed on a film with plenity of political and social points of view.
