Winslet plays her character's mixture of naivete and motherly concern well, and looks good doing it, as does the whole movie. The Moroccan locales are brilliantly displayed. Character development and consistent narrative are sometimes lacking.

Sure the sceneries are splendid and movie works, but a story is about going nowhere.

Visually beautiful, thanks to the setting, but very disjointed narratively. A more cohesive plot, married with the beautiful locations, could have produced a winner. As it is, it is great to look at, and an interesting 'experience', but not much more.

Well, they got the hideous part right. This movie stinks. Booorrring!

If Kate din't seem so hot to me & the picture wasn't founded on exotic beauty i wonder if i would have walked. The "plot" is so loose a journey (which may have been the point) it heightens the realism, reality, it seems, is a tad dull.
