If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Brilliantly gripping film with lots of twist and second guessing. The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that the director made a huge error forgetting to explain Claire's role... oops! But decides that it's well worth a watch!
A woman wakes up every day, remembering nothing as a result of a traumatic accident in her past. One day, new terrifying truths emerge that force her to question everyone around her. The film's talent Cast isn't enough to keep viewers caring for it's plot or it's characters and the overall story doesn't lead anywhere in the process to be honest..
I saw no other reviewer here have the issues I did with this film. It was total trash. How can anyone condone such brutality towards women--or anyone! Absolutely unnecessary to put such horrible scenes in a movie. Isn't there enough of this evil in real life? It was nauseating and I had to walk away from it. I used to like Nicole Kidman, but I am afraid I have lost respect for her to have done such a horrible script. Shame on her.
Amnesia can be a blessing in such a life of "Nicole Kidman". The woman who got hit,cheated on,kidnapped, and deprived from her son.The movie starts with a scene of Nicole's eyes, and yes it's a beautiful scene to start a movie with. Then we move to know that she has amnesia and living with her husband, after-that the events continue while she is trying to remember and solve the mystery behind her amnesia.The movie has really beautiful shots of different places, and the cinematographer did a great job of showing the beauty of symmetry in addition to the using of slow side to side movement of the camera which really resemble the nature of that kind of movies.There are not much people to suspect in that movie, so the finale is quiet expected but the director has a good twisted end for you.Finally, it's a good drama/mystery movie with thrill added in a perfect amount, you will enjoy it if you are looking for a small adrenaline rush.
