A few years too late but I've just watched this. Even to today's standards, it's an amazing movie. Actually, for today's standards even more so. I would have to presume that the plethora of 1/10 ratings come from the type that would rate transformers as an all time epic.
I read one review asking how Holly Hunter won an Oscar when she didn't even talk. Really? So you think someone like Jessie eisenberg should have a collection of Oscars? Because that man talks way too much!
You don't need to talk to act. Being able to communicate without speech is so much harder and Holly played it flawlessly. In my opinion Anna Paquin was just as amazing, especially considering her age. The part where she has to give something to Harvey Keitel was amazing. I have a young daughter, to be able to act that well on cue... well, she had me bawling!
Ignore the negatives. If you have a heart and require more than cgi with no story.... then watch this if you haven't already.
