    Watching it kind of feels like being in a dream/nightmare. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is interesting to look at, and if you embrace the weirdness, it's quite enjoyable.

    OMG it's Shota and Karl Urban! Quirky, but probably the most illogical film ever.

    An odd, odd film. Though I liked the agrophobic dog!

    very unusual fairy tale. it definitely left me with a smile on my face. =)

    A fairy tale? Sort of. 'The course of love never runs smoothly'? Definitly. Typical? NO. Want to see 98% of Carl Urban (give or take a bit)? Then YES. Fun to watch? Yes. What really is the most important thing in your life? Watch Lucinda struggle with that.

    This is FAR from perfect BUT I can't say it wasn't still fun to watch. This one falls under the genre of "WTF?". Very surreal BUT in a tickle your fancy kind of way like the fizz dancing on top of your soda - nothing too hard or heavy (or meaningful) just all over the place. A fr...( read more)actured fairy tale of love for giggles and smiles so don't expect to make sense of it. I enjoyed this sweet little movie from New Zealand and ohhhhh Karl Urban-yes indeedy!

    Ummmmmm. Hm. I don't quite know what to make of this one. A surreal, odd fairytale/love story. I guess. There are some neat visuals, particularly of Lucinda running across a hillside with her bright red sari trailing behind her. And some funny bits like Nigel the agoraphobi...( read more)c dog. I don't know. It's good-hearted enough, and if you're in the mood for an odd movie and Karl Urban's bare butt splashing around in a milk tank, well hey, why the hell not?

    you can never have enough milk!

    Quirky is probably the best way to describe this flick. Cormack plays this role well and you really feel for the young couple, just wanting the love and trust to return. It's essential on a cold night.

Critic Reviews

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Adds up to considerably less than the sum of its parts.

May 4, 2001
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Too bad that unconscious haunting quality is in no way conveyed by the story, which soon reveals itself not as magical but silly -- and even irritating. full review

April 27, 2001
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

I was never much convinced by the romantic chemistry between Rob and Lucinda. full review
