Best movie of this year hands down!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of those treasures you unwittingly stumble across every so often. I came across the movie while browsing the PBS website. It's the story of twin infant girls in China who were adopted by different families - one from California and the other from Norway, and traces the communication and visits between the two. I don't know that there was a deep message or lesson, but it was just fascinating to watch the two girls growing up and seeing how attached to each other they were, even though they lived so far away. Although it doesn't delve into the scientific aspects of nature vs. nurture, it also gives some insight about how much genetics and environment has to do with the development of people's personalities.On top of that, the photography and music were excellent.
