Fine Line Features
Directed by Jonathan Glazer
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, New Line)
A ten-year-old boy shows up at Nicole Kidman's house during her engagement party claiming to be her dead ex-hsuband. Since he knows private facts about their life she slowly begins to believe him while most everyone else around her is incredulous. This leads to some uncomfortable scenes between Kidman and the boy, such as taking baths together and an intimate kiss. However, when it is revealed the husband had a lover, which the boy did not know, it all falls apart. I got the feeling the producers tried to come up with a way to have Nicole Kidman fall in love and have sex with a ten-year-old and this was the result. To make matters worse, it unsuccessfully tries to imitate Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, with long hallway shots and a creepy kid.
