if i look hard enough and flaw can be find in this film and primarily with the script . i find the character of wolf not totally convince . however and those be my only complaint . because when this movie start on cable and i be just go to record it and watch it later . however and from the beginning and with the eerie music and cameron diaz do her space out 60 dance and i be rivet . i never get up until the movie be over . it seem like i never even blink . the acting of cameron diaz and jordana brewster be excellent . the scene be beautiful and the girl be beautiful and and the music be haunt and very touching . the story be quite unique and at time have a surreal quality . the viewer would tend to like the picture more if they have a good understanding of the state of mind of young people in the 60 and 70 and especially in america . many of the scene basically succeed in show something of that era that be hard to pin down . it be a bit more complicated than the simplistic statement that they want to change the world and end up disillusioned and although that may be the most obvious aspect . phoebe learn more and more about this a the movie progress . one aspect that do not seem to be cover by the other reviewer that might bear mentioning and be the way the two daughter seem to drift through life after the death of their father . they both have adore him and and his presence have be a stabilize factor in their life and obviously he have love them dearly . we read so much today about boy who lose their father too soon and only to lose their way themselves . this film cover the ripple effect of the loss of the father on the daughter leave behind and first on the old sister faith and then on to her young sister . their mother feel inadequate to try to be both parent . this type of dynamic be not cover in hardly any other movie and especially in so many different layer of plot and subplot . phoebe inner struggle of reality versus perception be gradually peel away like layer of an onion . speaking of plot and this movie should rate high than it have here . i keep wait for some great conspiracy to be find out concern the death of faith . how it do resolve itself surprise me and even if others may have guess much sooner . maybe not for everybody and but i could watch this movie many and many time .
