Best movie of this year hands down!
... View MoreThe Worst Film Ever
... View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreAlthough the film lacks true originality as it comes off in similarity to The Omen, The Bad Seed, or The Good Son, it has it's moments. It's genre is horror/suspense specific but it is really not all that scary. Renee Zellwegger's performance is well received as the compassionate social worker Emily who has much empathy for the abused kids. Her approach is unique and lays the foundation for her character development. Jodelle Ferland does a decent job as the unique, albeit mysterious and cliché child whom Emily takes in. The film is driven by the story of a child that appears normal and frail on the outside but the mystery lies within. There is violence drawn across the film some of which involves children but there lies the truth behind the story. It's a personable, social film for adults. I felt it had good direction and movement but lacked a creative spark. You will enjoy the film as a whole and the performances as well. Bradley Cooper makes his small but relevant role worthwhile. A solid 6/10
...

... View MoreI am a Renee Zellwegger fan. Comedic acting is the hardest genre to achieve successfully, yet she succeeds doing it. I was happy to see her in a different type role and she pulled it off very well. She makes a believable social worker, appearing naturally caring and good with children, and then as the movie progresses at a very nice even pace, her suspicions and then terror comes across believably. Every actor in this movie did an excellent, top notch job. The story and plot moved at just the right pace to keep me engaged and interested. Fast enough to keep my mind from jumping ahead and guessing outcomes, full enough to care about the characters. The direction, camera work, editing (seamless)and score were all superb. Although it I a bit dated now, I still enjoy pulling it up on a rainy lazy day and re-watching it.
