I wanted to see this movie for a long time, it's been so advertised everywhere, here, in the US, everywhere. Good job by the publicists of this movie.
Anyhow the movie is about this woman, Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) who is having a hard time dealing with the death of her boy, Sam. Anyhow, suddenly, everything starts to be erased, her tapes, photos, etc. And is told that she is paranoid, that her child never existed, etc.. So it starts from that point. Then she meets this other guy, father of a girl who also died in the same accident that Sam died. However, this guy, Ash (Dominic West) doesn't remember anything about his daughter, until Telly starts making him remember. Well then they're being chased and the whole movie takes off from there.
the performances were good, by both stars West and Moore, and the plot was good, it kept you guessing more and more, until of course it was too obvious. Maybe if they would have kept making you guess, it would have worked.
The ending is something that annoyed everybody, it's a stupid ending with happiness everywhere!! it's a movie, you don't always have to give it happy endings! Is not like Telly is real and by giving it a realistic ending, we are going to mess up her life! *** SPOILERS ***** Of course the happy ending is filled with rainbows and butterflies, so happy!!! the boy comes back, nothing ever happened, happiness happiness.
Stupid!!!!! This movie should have had an ending like, she being taken by the cops and taken to the asylum, wouldn't it be a good ending like doctors talking outside a room, then her doctor looks inside the window and we find her in a room for schizophrenic, her talking to "Sam" and stuff like that. You know, making us believe that she was right and there was something wrong, but then take a spin and show us that she really is crazy. Like in "A beautiful mind" we all thought everybody was wrong and he was actually working for that government thing.
Anyhow, that's what I think.
************ I'm disappointed with the movie, but it's not awful either. It's interesting and it's good until a certain point. Go watch it and see if you either like it or hate it. *** out of *****
