I thought this one was delightfully twisted, and as always, Daniel-Day Lewis delivered in spades. There seemed to be a legitimate connection between Jack and Rose, and his illness was enthralling. Rose was beautifully disturbing. Especially the hymen scene. If you've seen it, you'll know for sure. I have to mark points off for the ending. I was legitimately happy about it until the dreaded epilogue, which ruined what would have been a very open ending. Also, Paul Dano is a scumball. See, TWBB.

That's right, a decent one with an interesting love story (escape from civilization) of a father and his daughter. Music is wonderful.

This movie was spread too thin as far as covering the story. Really suprising at how disturbing it could be at times.

I wanted to hate this, but loved the actors. It's also beautifully shot and wound up sucking me in. Damn you, Daniel Day Lewis.

Works for about 3/4 of the movie and is saved by the awesome performances - especially DDL (no surprise). It falls apart in the end and turns into a huge mess. Still, it is pretty decent.

it's definately a unique movie, with an idea untried, but it pulls it off with a great script and some amazing acting.

Daniel Day-Lewis was much better in this one than in TWBB.

The film is shocking, with profound psychosocial issues, issues ranging from territorial to incest. The performance of Daniel Day-Lewis (one more time) and Camilla Belle is really good.

"Miller realizes her own screenplay with a stunning lack of self-consciousness."

Daniel Day-Lewis was sublime, is there anything he can't do? There was a genuine connection I think between Jack and Rose.

Good film. Left me thinking but not enough to be considered an amazing film. Interesting look at a man trying to get away from civilization, and why that approach to life didn't work, in his case at least.

About halfway into the movie it starts to fall apart, only to be saved by some terrific performances (namely Day-Lewis).

A unique movie with enigmatic characters having strange problems. Very psychological with some faint nature vs. nurture themes. Good photography and uncompromising direction. In keeping with the story, the film feels like it could have been made in eras past.

Stay for "I put a spell on you".

The problem with this film is that it seemed Rebecca Miller didn't want to take any chances, reveal any major moments of insight from the characters, and thus created a mediocre movie when she had all the right ingredients for something much bigger. It tries to span too many themes in such a short period that makes everything feels rushed, namely the characters development. And if you want to see Day-Lewis and Dano get into a real fight, go watch 'There Will Be Blood'.

This movie is a disappointment. There are a lot of talented actors in the cast and they do a good job here. The story of the movie is uninspired. The script is weak and it makes the film not enjoyable to watch. The characters actions do not make sense some of the time. Definitely avoid this movie and watch some better ones made by these fine actors.

Superb drama artfully and intelligently explores some tricky familial relationship issues with tact and taste, and for the most part allows its characters to remain intriguingly enigmatic in terms of their motivations (especially the startling Day-Lewis character). Only at the very end does Miller succumb to the desire to try to wrap things up neatly (with a completely unnecessary final epilogue scene) but up until then, a thoughtful, deeply felt film.
