Siren

As mentioned in other reviews, this film focuses on a woman who has a unique pheromone that causes men to become enraptured with her. It is beautifully and subtly film. The actors come across as authentic people with difficult pasts.

The film requires careful watching in order to understand the complexity of the various plots.

Why the film has an "MA" rating is unclear. Many PG-13 films have more nudity and vulgarity than this one.

I read other reviews saying that things weren't explained.. that is false they obviously weren't paying attention..The movie is a nice unique and refreshing one. I actually enjoyed it And kinda wish there was a sequel.

This movie is about what you would expect from the synopsis. We learn a little at a time what Leigh's life is like and especially her very sad backstory. Even so, the movie tries to keep from getting totally hopeless. So if you start to think about the repercussions of what it could be, it could become quite depressing. Somehow Leigh manages an outlook at least a little above depressing.

It soon becomes clear that there are people who know about Leigh and her potential. Perfume? Yeah sure. The people who know want more than that and it is all about power and money.

The relationship between Guy and Leigh could almost be a romance. The actors sell it, especially Vinessa Shaw. Is it irony that the woman who appears to men as their fantasy girl starts to think about this stranger, Guy, as the fulfillment of the fantasies that she has undoubtedly nurtured and at the same time denied over all her years in this solitary hell?

Yes I think the movie does a decent job bringing these emotions out in me, the viewer.

I doubt that the "twist" surprises many people, but there is another twist that is fairly clever after that.

I had not heard of this and enjoyed it. The film had a great story and a satisfying end(not an excuse for a sequel, or now you feel depressed): excellent acting, action, drama, romance, mystery.

Siren is a film with an unusual surrealistic premise. If you like slow paced but intriguing ideas I would highly recommend this film. The story centers around Leigh who lives behind locked gates and surrounded by security cameras in a little cottage. The mystery behind her isolation is interestingly revealed. I think this is movie highly underrated and I would ignore any low ratings and give it a try. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt this movie truly deserves some attention and I hope to encourage people to check it out.

Pardon the aside, but one 2 star reviewer complained that 4 key points were not explained. Clearly that viewer wasn't paying any attention to the film because all the answers were right there if you were actually paying attention.

Bottom line if you like unusual and artistic films, give it a watch.
