This was probably one of the most boring pieces of crap I've ever sat through. Should have turned it off after the first 15 minutes.

This was a tough watch and a little different to what I expected. Will probably require a couple of viewings.

A bit boring? Yes. However, this movie does feature Nicole Kidman's better performances since going all-in on Botox. There are some scenes in here between her and John Cusack's character that give Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct a run for it's money. :eggplant::sweat_drops:

This film had the potential to be great but the director's stylistic choices are a let down. There's a disjointed feel to the work which while evocative of the protagonist's experience, is also just jarring for the viewer. Long stretches are slow-paced and languishing but then interrupted by scenes in which too many things are happening at once and it feels overstimulating. I would not recommend or watch again but I'd be curious to read the book.

Hugely disturbing. Performances and direction are quite good, IMHO, just the story is creepy and disgusting.
