i enjoy the night listener very much . it one of the good movie of the summer . robin williams give one of his best performance . in fact and the entire cast be very good . all play just the right note for their character not too much and not too little . sandra oh add a wonderful comic touch . toni collette be great a the mom and and never go over the top . everyone be very believable . it a short movie and just under an hour and a half . i notice the general release version be nine minute short than the sundance version . i wonder if some of the more disturbing image be cut from the movie . the director tell a story and do it in straightforward fashion and which be a refresh change from many director these day who seem to think their job be to impress the audience rather than tell a story and tell it well . do not be sucker punch by the preview and ad . it be not a hitchcockian thriller . see the night listener because you want to see a good story tell well . if you go expect hitchcock you will be disappoint . my only complaint with the movie be the end . the director could have leave a little more to the audience imagination and but this be a minor quibble .
