Basically, it is one of those movies which, even though I know the whole thing was flawed, it was still quite fascinating and I was still rather fascinated somehow. Indeed, it did look really gorgeous, the directing was indeed quite amazing and Nicole Kidman gave a very a good perfomance and so did the rest of the cast. The story was really fascinating so what went wrong ? I think the main issue is that they tried too much to rationalize the plot, to rationalize something completely impossible so you ended up with this unsatisfactory ending. Also, after rewatching it, I noticed that the main focus was on the mood, which was great by the way, but as a result, you get the feeling that the whole thing is just about mood and no substance whatsoever. I mean, if you think about it for a few minutes, the whole thing was completely preposterous and that's why it was quite fascinating but it makes also it really difficult to sell it to the viewers and, in my opinion, they actually failed. Still, in spite these flaws, it had really some potential and I still think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
