Negative Positive
Title: I rarely agree so thoroughly with Ebert, but this is a brilliant film.
Review: While it does have some of the tics of the Dogme movement and Figgis's fascination with digital video effects (which also means it's consciously trying to advance that aspect of the art), it's an intelligent, funny, and ultimately very satisfying artistic horror film that has a fair amount to say about art, celebrity, film-making and (oddly enough) life generally...it's also a treat for some fans of John Webster, since it's also about attempting to film THE DUCHESS OF MALFI...and how haunts, real and possibly imagined, impede that process. I'm pretty sure this film will appeal to film-fans a lot more than it does to casual viewers...which I suspect has driven much of the response here and it the film's commercial fortunes.
Is the review positive or negative?
