I'm probably the first one from Serbia (the land of Free and of opportunity) to watch this movie. When I was downloading it, I didn't know that it already has some kind of cult status in the USA. Actually, I didn't know what I'm downloading at all, because at that time there was no information about it at IMDb. I just had some free 400 MB and I picked this one to download from some site about short movies. And I'm very glad I've done so..

Like the last comment says - this movie is done with heart. But there's a brain too. Original idea very intelligently filmed. And I also liked the selection of music.

Lars von Trier already was one of my favorite directors, so I've expected only the best form him, but I didn't have such a high opinion about Nicole Kidman and when I've heard that she's playing the main role I thought that Lars has finally sold himself to Hollywood. But Nicole was GREAT too (I've almost fell in love with her) and even though it has Hollywood ending (and the best Hollywood actress - now I'm sure of it), it's everything but a Hollywood movie.

So it's 10 out of 10!

This is 'a story in a story movie'. A woman is telling a story from a few years ago to a policeman because her son is kidnapped. And that part of the movie - her story - is great. With 'crazy house' that she moved in, weird neighbours strange situations. I think that the movie would've been better if it had ended with that, without 'the present story'. I really don't see a reason for that kidnapping part. Maybe to extend the lenght of the movie (only 75 minutes), but that just lowered my opinion about this movie. So it's 8, but could have been 9 or even 10 (if it was 60 minutes:-)
