Posted: 2/24/05 at 1:57pmWhile I loved La Morton's performance in it and there's an incredibly hot guy who pops up halfway through for a bit, that was all I liked. The film itself left me very cold, and it has possibly the biggest continuity error I have ever seen.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Sorry about that. I was joking. I meant that Morton's performance was better than Kidman's, who ended up winning the Oscar that year.

Posted: 2/24/05 at 4:57pmIt's quite an interesting film. I do agree about the continuity problem, but Morton's performance is wonderful. If anything, it's incredibly original.
