Simply Great, 24 October 1998
10/10
Author: Ing. Ramiro C. Tijerina Gonzalez from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico

As my first approach to Egoyan's films, I must say it was a great experience. The movie is about lonely people searching for something or someone, about the influence of media, about life. Its ambientation works excellent. Not an easy movie to see, though; but it's really an experience.
