From the review below I sense that this movie has really good and really bad reviews. The problem with opinions about books, movies, politics, religion etc. - is that everyone has his/her own perception based on their own views, not always impartial, which doesn't have to be a reflection of what we believe in. Having said that, I am not saying that all reviews are always inaccurate, but the only way to find out is to watch the movie and form our own opinion, without relying exclusively on someone else's judgement. I just watched it and I think the movie is brilliant and Sandra Bullocks's performance was flawless to the point that I couldn't believe how well she got into the character, but that's what great acting is about - leaving us speechless, breathless and surprised. She definitely lived up to the challenge. I am really glad that I found something on Netflix that could so deeply touch my heart in this completely impervious world. I am glad that I didn't touch the emotional void yet, and neither did the movie.
