Excellent movie! Tim Robbins and Sarah Polley really deliver in this one. It is not an action movie, not a thriller, and still it leaves you schocked and disturbed about the cruelty of mankind. So many young girls and women have suffered exactly the same way Hanna has in this movie. I believe that her story (the one she tells Josef) is real. It has happened, to someone, and that makes the base for this interpretation. And just the way Josef felt the pain listening to her story, so did I...
Really really good, perhaps a little bit slow in the beginning... maybe it was necessary. I think Isabel Coixet and Sarah Polley work really good together and I think they really get into your skin in the way they portray the story. I really loved it.
Josef: I thought um, you and I, maybe we could go away somewhere. Together. One of these days. Today. Right now. Come with me.
Hanna: No, I don't think that's going to be possible.
Josef: Why not?
Hanna: Um, because I think that if we go away to someplace together, I'm afraid that, ah, one day, maybe not today, maybe, maybe not tomorrow either, but one day suddenly, I may begin to cry and cry so very much that nothing or nobody can stop me and the tears will fill the room and I won't be able to breath and I will pull you down with me and we'll both drown.
Josef: I'll learn how to swim, Hanna. I swear, I'll learn how to swim.
Its admirable convictions, matched only by the primitive manner in which they are expressed. Ms. Polley does flash a few moments of creative wingspan at us, but it doesn't save the picture from a certain kind of dread. The emptiness of uninspired creativity. A faithful companion to my own screenwriting process and as such, easy for me to recognize.
Given the physical limitations of their characters, Polley and Robbins give remarkably compelling performances, and though the resolution of their slowly evolving relationship is a bit too pat, it is one you won't soon forget.
