I've been waiting for this movie for 29 long, trivial and useless years.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that if David Lynch was God, Asia Argento would be...the Holy Spirit. Or something of that sort. You got my point don't you?
I couldn't go past the first 5 minutes. It's just too much to handle. I don't know if I will finish seeing it, it's not probable.
This film is fucked up above all things - but who can know it? This is the kind of movie that could be worked to produce a five-star film - but who am I to judge eh? This kid actor will never grow up normal now will he!
There is some seriously disturbing shit happening in this film, and most of it is happening to a young boy named Jeremiah (Jimmy Bennett, Dylan & Cole Sprouse). Asia Argento directs, and stars as Jeremiah's mother Sarah, and to call her the 'mother from hell' would be a huge unde...( read more)
Very disturbing. If you're into such, then you should definitely see this. But since I'm not, I give this three stars. Asia Argento is an amazing actress and director.
I don't know. Seeing one of the Sprouse brothers dress up like a girl and then gets raped by Marilyn Manson was blehhhhh. Going into this you'll see no resolution and since the book was eventually found out to be false it feels not important to see this film unless you are a fan ...( read more)
Extremely brutal, sad, harrowing, graphic, and uncompromising, but also extremely well made. I felt perverted for watching it, but I definitely admired the way it was constructed and acted.
What a brilliant movie and Asia Argento is so beautiful! This is one of my favorite movies.
There is no redemption, no surcease, and as the film ends the barbarity continues. This film made me intensely uncomfortable, but that was its intention. full review
Ultimately sabotaged by Argento's own deliriously uncontrollable hysterics. full review
A dutiful course in degradation, complete with a roster of villains as well established as those of any soap opera. full review
what a strange combination-Marilyn Manson and the Sprouse twins. Pretty good movie
The content of this film is distrubing and full of metaphors, odd camera angles, and time jumps that make it difficult to take in. What it lacks in plot is made up for by stellars performances by the cast in particular the young actors, Jimmy Bennett and Cole and Dylan Sprouse.
