Ewan McGregor is poorly cast in this movie. More attention seems to have been put in to his dorky wardrobe than creating a believable character. I just could not suspend my disbelief and see him as a psychiatrist. Ditto for Naomi Watts; she is just too good looking in the part of artist/art teacher. Much over-wrought acting from McGregor - and very little substance. The movie is trying to make a visual impact via repetative use of imagery, mirrors especially, elements overlapping from one scene to the next, but I don't think this was to good effect. Includes totally superfluous strip bar scene - although the women are clad (somewhat...). How many movies to we need to watch with the ubiquitous strip bar scene? What a cliche. This movie spins a tale that is just not believable to me and is poorly told. It just didn't work.
i think that this is a really good movie and okay for like 14+. theres no outward violence, or sex or drug use. theres threats, but thats as far as it goes. i dont remember any language, even if there was there was very little. i think if you like this movie and get it you should also see the matrix.
