There is no movie like this. It never blinks or winks. It locks eyes with you and never breaks focus. Losing someone you love is something everyone experiences and almost everyone copes with. But nothing is ever healed and if faced with the same cosmically weird and yet practically undeniable circumstance as Anna does here, you’d be hard pressed not to explore, believe. The whole movie is an extraordinary act of commitment, and one in a long line of daring and profoundly unsafe choices by Nicole Kidman. Four films into his career, one of the prevailing themes of Jonathan Glazer’s work is the magnitude of devastation caused by belief. In codes, structures, desire, the phantasmagoric unknown. Be careful where you let your mind take you, it may be your undoing. There’s no smarm or detachment in his films — I, personally, wouldn't have the gall, the confidence to see beyond the potential self-effacement or bitter irony of these stories and their wild premises. They feel real because they are real.
