August 1, 2009I postponed seeing this because, for some reason, I thought it was just another 'chick-flick'. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Four stars (teetering on four and a half)
...and a great soundtrack! -
May 20, 2009Five daughters in a family, and the youngest commits suicide. The story of the family is told through the eyes of the neighbourhood boys - who don't quite understand what went on. Neither do we.

December 31, 2008Not as good as it was hyped up to be, but still a great movie. An interesting look into what looks like a happy family, only to find that they're anything but. Kind of an American Beauty type movie.

December 5, 2009Great movie with an even better cast. Its a wired movie to watch because there is a pall over the whole movie because from the beginning you know where it is going to end up. Between this and Lost In Translation, I think that Sofia Coppola could become a great director.
