wrong-headed review, but a step in the wrong direction is at least motion.
Actually, it's a brilliantly conceived "filmed play," with a startling performance by Nicole Kidman.
The film transcends cultures quite well: I saw it in an art theater in Belo Horizonte (the capital of Minas Gerais state, Brasil) and the crowd burst into applause when it ended.
Anyone that has enjoyed Thornton Wilder's Our Town should see this darker-sided companion piece.
Kidman should have received an Oscar for her performance.
Warning: if absolutely you hate theater, the presentation of dialogue and ideas as opposed to non-stop violence and action...don't bother. There is plenty happening here, it's just an internal struggle; that said, it is manifested by Kidman and the emotional journey she makes is riveting.
One of the greatest commentaries on American culture ever filmed; of course, it took a foreigner to do it.
