(This review may contain spoilers).
Just as a note – I haven’t read the book this film is based on, so this review is just based on the movie.
I’ve seen both Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth in other things, so when I saw this film advertised, I decided that it looked good and like one I’d want to see, knowing that the actors are ones I find fairly believable.
Although this film delivered fairly well on the suspense, I felt a little bit like there was something missing. It wasn’t as good as I thought it could have been, though.
Waking up to find that you’ve apparently aged overnight is probably a very scary experience. I did feel that the film did a good job of showcasing that and the confusion and turmoil that Nicole Kidman’s character faced came across very well.
I felt the film fell a bit short with the explanation, though. There were certain things that put a bit of a strain on my suspension of disbelief.
There were some nice tense moments in this film despite that. I wouldn’t watch it again, but it was fairly entertaining to view the first time. I just felt… a bit disconnected from the characters.
