“Luckily, I stumbled upon this movie on the SUNDANCE channel. Having NEVER heard of it and only stopping to watch it because I caught it at the beginning and figured Iu0026#39;d give it a look. I kept switching back to the INFO button and was very curious to see how I was watching a movie about a MONSTER when cinematographically it looked like a dramatic independent film…As I kept watching, I became more engrossed in this film as it wasnu0026#39;t heading where I expected…Iu0026#39;m usually good at pinpointing the basics of where the movie will go…About 3/4 of the way through I figured it was another take on u0026quot;Beauty and the Beastu0026quot; but it STILL ended up surprising me…I wonu0026#39;t say more so I donu0026#39;t give away the CINEMATIC RIDE I so thankfully happened upon. SUPERB DIRECTION AND ACTING! Robert John Burke (the Monster) and Sarah Polley delivered wonderfully believable performances! TWO THUMBS WAY UP for the surprising CREATIVITY of all involved!”
