Not bad. It is trying to make some serious commentary on Indonesia's social and political state, but doesn't go too deep or hard into it and Kwan's dialogue on it comes across as quite preachy. The romance story is also very underdeveloped and seems very shoe-horned in, despite Weaver doing an okay job. A well done film, yet still unmemorable.

Engrossing look at political turmoil in Indonesia through foreign eyes. Hunt's storyline is by far the most interesting, so I felt a little disappointed it was somewhat sidelined by the more conventional Gibson/Weaver romance, although this was probably a pragmatic commercial decision by Weir. Some good editing too.

Ok but I was a bit disappointed, it didn't really get beneath what was happening in the country, and became more of a Hollywood romance between 2 outsiders who ultimately get out and leave the locals to their fate.

Engrossing, well made film along the lines of Hotel Rwanda and Last King of Scotland, with the same looming sense of doom. Whilst Gibson and Weaver do a competent job the real power of this film comes from the quiet emotional intensity of Asian supporting actors. Linda Hunt is amazing and Kwans all seeing, all knowing, all feeling performance is just outstanding. The "all westerners are blind (and unpleasant)" was a bit overplayed and the story a little superficial, but still gripping stuff.

Gibson's character Guy Hamilton has one bad ass name, but bad ass this film is not. I wasn't particularly impressed with the whole romance and drama aspects of this movie, if Weir would have only left in the war/thriller aspect this might have been good. Interestingly enough, even though Linda Hunt played a man in this movie (and got an Oscar for it) she really wasn't that good, even if it was oddly intriguing.

Good performances from the cast, but I feel like there are a lot of movies similar to this. Still, it's well-made and tense at times.

Technically proficient with a standout performance from Hunt, but while very engaging as it plays out, my feeling coming out was that it never got deep into any of the issues it touches.

The Billy Kwan character is the heart of the film. His passion for the world of the unseen (both the spiritual world and the world of the poor, unseen by the eyes of the elite) offers a strong counterpoint to the respected journalists covering a contentious political situation. Weir develops the "sight" metaphor nicely, if not a bit obviously. This is a film that has its heart in the right place in pointing toward transcendence. Indeed, in the words of the film, "the puppet master is a priest."
