Featured review
Pretty fascinating.
Nicole Kidman plays widow Anna, who is engaged to be remarried. A swift turn-of-events has Anna meeting ten-year-old Sean, who tells her he is has been reincarnated from the spirit of her first husband. As Anna couldn't get the boy out of her mind and the boy is adamant he is her first husband, this puts the engagement between Anna and her fiancé on the line.
The story is both unsettling, yet breathtaking and full of suspense, filmed in a way that captures the beauty of the drama and the unfolding events; it leaves you wondering if there is life or some other dimension or world after death.
To top it off, the acting is convincing and the scenery and atmosphere wrapping the entire movie are fascinating.
Grade B
