While perusing the video shelf at my local Tesco I read the back of this bright orange box.

“Wonderful, profound and imaginative. Whatever you do, don’t forget to see this.” – Says New Woman. Well, they tend to know what I like, so I thought I’d give it a crack.

Ok, I’m not sure if there is some “deep” message in this film. I’m not sure if the director is trying to make some bold statement or something. I just found it an entertaining hour and a half in front of the TV.

Carey is really quite good in a whispering, confused expression filled way. I’m a fan of Carey and his gurning comedy, but it was nice to see him play a more controlled part. There are a few moments where he could have over-acted, but he just about controls himself.

Winslet is good in a shouty angry way. I’ve not really seen much of her, (well, I’ve seen a fair bit in Titanic), but I enjoyed her performance in this.

Kirsten Dunst once again made me think when she appears. Every time I see her I think to myself, “Hmm, is she hot or not?”

I thought it was very nicely directed. Some clever parts, some slightly freaky parts, but skilful all the way through.

It’s not the sort of thing I would see myself watching time and time again, but it was very enjoyable.

A good solid 8/10

I think the message is something like don't regret the past and don't fear the future, or whatever.

Yeah, I enjoyed it, nice entertainment.. not sure if I'd get it on DVD mind.
