Negative Positive
Title: Beautifully made
Review: This is a film with mystery throughout. Slowly the mysteries are revealed and choices must be made which will influence each of the character's lives. The acting is convincing, particularlythe romantic leads Alexis Bledel, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy man; Jonathan Jackson, a young man with a secret to keep; and Ben Kingsley as a mysterious stranger whose selfish actions bring the situation in the movie to a climax. The setting is beautiful--a woods with a dark, yet cozy ambiance, and the background music adds to the mystical nature of the film.The one factor which kept me from giving this movie 5 stars was that it all seemed somehow familiar and I felt that I had seen this situation before. It does, however, pose some interesting philosophical questions and goes deeper than most Hollywood products.
