236260 Part of the reason I watched this was because I was so completely captivated by Dancer In the Dark. In fact, that movie has long held a place in my top ten favorites of all time. I am also a fan of disjointed movies that employ ambiance and subtle moods to elevate themselves to the level of art. For some reason, this movie just didn't click with me. I may be missing something, but my feelings about this film stand as equal and opposite to my feelings about Dancer In the Dark.The deficit, as I saw it, was not due to Björk's acting, and it would delight me to see her take on more cinematic projects.

bubblegumyums65 This movie is actually interesting at parts. Although some of it will bore you. The reason it is so interesting is because its weird and Bjork acts in it. I'll give it 8/10. All I have say now is that the ending will confuse you, I sure did get confused. In fact, I am very confused about right now.

msultan I find it sad that the only recognition this movie gets is Bjork'sinvolvement in it. While I do admit that she's an asset to it (shelooks peculiar and is talented), I also think that the movie hasqualities of its own.The eerie mood of the film is heightened by a lot of silence and aslow pace. Put that against a rocky landscape in black and white,and add a beautiful raw score, and you get a nice result. I wish itwere a little longer. The setting (architecture) and costumes reallytake the viewer to another time and place.I definitely recommend this movie, keeping in mind that it's not anaction movie, nor a horror movie. It's full of earth and soul.

Hayden28 Obviously, the major attraction of this film is the star, Bjork. But the film also has some little quirks that are hard to find in big budget movies of late. For instance, the "evil" stepmother sews the little boy's mouth shut, so that he may never speak badly about her again. The film is also very symbolic. And, if that's not enough, Bjork is in the movie!
