Nonureva Really Surprised!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

drizzt81 After being hyped up quite a bit through the local media, I decided to see this movie on TV. The plot itself appears somewhat appealing. It has intrigue, paranoia, fear, love and revenge. The partially horrendous acting and overzealous wanna-be artsy movie composition was what really killed it though.The main actor was not really getting his anger across, despite doing his best to scream a lot. Surely, he did seem a bit insane and conveyed the control-freak type reasonably well, but it just was not convincing. At times, I wasn't sure whether to be afraid of him or just laugh in his face for trying too hard to be scary and intimidating.And it appears that the director really wanted to make sure that everyone knows how artsy he is: let's throw in long, silent scenes with eerily lit rooms, the main actress swimming with loud music blaring to symbolize her mental change and random white-screen cuts... yep he did fill each and every cliché.
