That face during the symphony, her mix of anguish and elation as the film progresses....man, when Kidman finds the right film, she's the best there is.

Liked the concept but kept thinking that something was missing in the end. Still, I found it very interesting. There's all a cold grey environment going on very apropriate for the theme. The opera scene is amazing.

Birth is an underrated film. Fact. It is a beautiful film, with a beautiful story, not to mention the soundtrack, which opts for no obvious moments (the scene of the opera, close to Kidman: fantastic). Had the same problem as Walter Salles's Dark Water for example. But time is always a second chance. I recommend. Just do not wait for scares. www.cinemadebuteco.com

If there is one film I could steal directing credit for, it is this one. I love everything about this (except for Nicole's performance - which at times is too forced). Perfect match of cinematography, music, light and time.

It's a catastrophy that this film got so many poor reviews. Definitely a flawed masterpiece, but so intriguing that I'll easily forgive it's shortcomings. Glazer's style is pure, classic cinema at it's best and Desplats score is nothing short of masterful. The performances are great and the plot is so original, so daring that I instantly fell in deep love with this strange, suspenseful and visually gorgeous film.

Nicole Kidman's chilling performance pierces through the heart of an engaged woman in despair, in between lives and desperatley in love. The catch is that she isn't in love with her fiance, she's in love with her husband... who's been dead for ten years. Hearing the actress speak about what drew her to this project on Charlie Rose's program leaves little doubt as to her intentions of conveying the power of love.

This movie is better than you think it's going to be (for me, the alarm bell went off when I saw that Nicole Kidman was starring in it)...plus, this kid (Cameron Bright) is a really good actor. And creepy as hell.

mmmm...I did steal a couple of ideas for my movie script. I hope it reads like elements in another context. A rare good fantastic movie with an actual budget and a gloosy production !

I may be the only person to really love this film. I think it's fantastic. The under-exposed cinematography to the hauntingly bassy score. Personally, I don't think Nicole Kidman was that great - but thankfully everything else was.
