The first hour of this movie was a fine example of building suspense; it was excellently done - beautiful cinematography (probably the best I've seen this year), great music/sound effects, great acting, and a build-up of expectations that there'd be a well thought-through and worth-while finale to the film. So many teasers! So much foreboding!

But then it all fell flat. The story fell apart; the substance that was there in the first part just vanished. There are movies that are successfully dreamy and Kafkaesque. This isn't one of them.

This movie is the big disappointment of the year. I give it five points for the cinematography, acting and music, but the script-writer needs to go back to school.
