I pretty much agree with everything you say in your review but I was actually really impressed with the acting. That little girl was just perfect in her role and just blew me away. With all that said, I'd say that I liked the movie but didn't love it. While the scenes from the bandit story were definitely pleasing to look at, I actually preferred the present day scenes in the hospital better. I know that might sound odd but that is just how much I enjoyed the interaction between the two leads. I'd probably give it 3 out of 4 stars. Thanks for letting me know about it--I would have never watched it if I hadn't read your review. :) I just wanted to let you know that I finally watched this movie last night after reading your recommendation for it back in July.

Remeber those weird time lapse pictures from the 80s and 90s, like Koyaniqaatsu, etc? All visual, no story. But the story here is actually strong. The fantasy story gains weight by subtle association with the reality story. Perhaps it was too subtle for some.

I did see The Cell but it was so long ago I can't remember much of it. I'm intrigued about this movie now. Will be adding it to my list.<br/><br/>Thanks! Those pictures are awesome!

I'll admit the the score was lovely, and part of the filming was beautifully done, but I need more than that in a movie. I do appreciate your comment though - I'm glad SOMEONE like this movie ... it IS Daniel Day Lewis after all.

But then I watched the 7 clips you mentioned. Wow! This actually looks really good! The idea of the story within a story is great, and the little girl is wonderfully adorable. Thanks so much for the review - I'm going to watch this for sure.

I haven't seen this movie or the Cell, but I love to travel, and will probably never get to these places so this one sounds intriguing. Thanks for playing along!

To say the least. Visually stunning, though, and it appears that this one will be as well. The Cell was…weird. To say the least.
