teases but doesn't deliver, 9 June 2003
7/10
Author: stephenb from Boston

Effectively imposes a sense of dismal despair and numbing boredom, and has many build ups that lead one to expect either some ominous catastrophe or titilating event but none come to pass. There is abundant religious imagery and symbolism but with one exception, there is virtually no recognizable religious dialogue or events. Depite the gorgeous stars, ocean and shore, this film is as bleak as the island on which it is filmed.
