What a great film! I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to the gore factor, and a few situations had me covering my eyes on that basis, but by the end I was blown away. John Cusack was great as always, but the whole cast pulled together on this one to create a really haunting film. A clever, tragic, thought provoking creation all round, that will leave you shaking your head!

A surprising film
26 July 2003
Wanted to add a quick comment about this film because it took me by surprise. From the title and the late night TV slot I thought it was going to be something cheap and smutty, but nothing could be further from the truth. There's a lot of beauty and sadness in this film, beautifully filmed, full of thought provoking characters and the complexities of life, love and loss. The key relationship between Christina and Frank is played out with great sensitivity, but there's a great supporting cast. A film that is both gentle and surprisingly brutal.
