Most critics panned this film and I read about half a dozen reviews of it before attending. Roger Ebert, whose views I respect, was one of the few who revered the film as one of the best of the year. While I would not go that far I might say I did like the film and was captivated by the story and the exquisite visuals. (I am a student of Jungian thought and I felt the film lent a new twist to 'finding ones inner child'. Here someone else finds it!) Being a fan of the artist Salvador Dali helped in my appreciation of the visuals. The acting was not strong, but then I think if it were stronger it would have overpowered the total effect. The storyline was adequate and some of the time I was on the edge of my seat. Score: 8 on a 10 scale
