    Obviously, the cast can't be beat, but it is a bit of a weird little flick. There are uncomfortable moments, but all in all it is a good movie that tells a real and complicated story.

    Highly disturbing and sad. I cried a little bit, but not for Rose.

    Seldom has a film haunted me as much as this one. I've never really experienced a story that was so sad, beautiful, humorous, and mesmerizing all at once. Throughout the entire film I was of course struck by the unconventional relationship between father and daughter, but thrown ...( read more)by how pure it came across. What would normally be condemned as wrong seemed to be the only thing that was right in these character's lives. A very poignant tale with stunning acting, music, and direction. Not to be passed by.

    Deeply emotional yet dull.
    The concept is excellent but all over the place. Watch only for Daniel Day-Lewis and Camilla Belle, who both give great performances.

    Catherine Keener e Daniel Day-Lewis nello stesso film, tipo la pace dei sensi.

    This movie totally creeped me out. I couldn't tell how the film wanted me to feel, which made the creepiness even more creepy. Still, it was fun to watch even if all the characters appeared to be rotting on the inside.

    beautiful, humorous, and mesmerizing all at once. very unexpected film, i loved the concept of the film, it shows how thin the lines are that divide one version of love from another and the delicate balance or our lives, and how that balnce is easily tipped...

    I applaud the actors for putting on amazing performances. Especially Daniel Day-Lewis. This movie has to be watched with an open mind. Some say it's controversial, but there's nothing here to make it seem so. Maybe the only part in the movie where it may seem different, is the ki...( read more)ss Camille does to Day-Lewis. Something she initiated which he pushed away from. It's a story about a daughter shielded away from the outside world with the only company of her father until he brings home a woman and her 2 sons to live with them. Her jealousy has her trying to kill the woman, in a not too subtle way. She also tries to find "comfort" from the boys and even a close friend. Most of the scenes were predictable, but they captured the love of a daughter to her father until his death. A death that needed to happen to set her free from her obsession with her father.
