I had seen Central Station and the Motorcycle diaries by the same guy who directs this film and enjoyed them so thought I would give this a try. There are stellar performances by Jennifer Connelly, Tim Roth and Pete Postelwaite. The story tells the tale of a woman, recently separated from her husband who moves into a rundown block of flats with her daughter. She suffers flashbacks of her mother who neglected her and dirty water leaks into their apartment from the flat above making her feel they have made the wrong choice in moving there. The daughter however seems to like the place and has an imaginary friend. There is a subplot of the acrimonious custody battle between the 2 parents and the caretaker Pete Postelwaite acts a mite strangely. This film does not rely on special effects for the few scary moments and though it's enjoyable enough the story is very predictable. The stellar cast make the film very watchable but they don't quite make up for the script. I believe this was a remake of a Japanese horror film and although the film was good it doesn't make me want to watch the original.Read full review
An emotionally moving film. I bought it because Julie Christie had been nominated for an award, and there had been a lot of positive discussion about it on Newsnight. It is a powerful story of love,compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and commitment in the true sense of the word ( for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health til death us do part) I thought it was a brilliant thought provoking movie which makes one seriously consider the quality of ones own relationships and how one would cope in the role of either the carer or the patient. I saw one of my very proud Auntys go through this illness and felt really sorry for her as she lost her memory, took on a completely different personality,became very aggressive and somewhat crude. A real tear jerker for many different reasons. A must see movie!!Read full review

I decided to buy this film as recommended by a friend. Excellent film, great storyline, easy to follow yet kept you interested. A MUST SEE.
