Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
sthacker-06773 I picked this up at random along with "Boss." This was by far the better choice. It's surprising to hear that critics didn't like it. The filming was beautiful and the acting was great.
taisbaumannv I don't think that this movie deserves so much hate! I actually thought it was really good. The actors is really good at their job. The plot is a liiittle bit weird, but good in a way. I also broke a little tear, it's very tearable this movie, while it has comedy and drama. That's what a good movie needs!
leethomas-11621 Movie in three parts but only the middle one is watch-worthy. After the first part, I was glad I stuck with it but with the third part it went off the rails and by the end I was actually feeling sorry for myself! Movies that create so much expectation for so little realisation are doubly disappointing. Its problem is it can't make up its mind if it wants to be a Disney movie or a thriller. No matter, it all ends up an unbelievable mess. Performances especially the ever-reliable Naomi Watts were all good.
Gre da Vid Naomi Watts is a suburb actress and she delivers a good performance in this film as well. The story is carried, however, by Jaeden Lieberher who, as an extremely intelligent child, tries, but fails, while he is alive, to put away a next door neighbor who abuses his stepdaughter. Unfortunately, it takes his death for an effort to take place to put an end to this abuse. An interesting story well worth your time.
