Quotes

Samson Young: They used to worry about the kind of world they were bringing their child into. But when their prayers were answered, they worried about what kind of child they were bringing into the world.

Alternate Versions

At the very end of the producer's cut, after Jason Isaacs' character has been shown on the television talking about his work, the TV turns off, and the scene cuts to Jim Sturgess in bed watching with contempt. He makes a dismissive joke and changes the channel before the film cuts to credits. The director's cut goes to credits immediately after Isaacs finishes talking, omitting the abrupt scene transition to Sturgess. The result is a less gimmicky/jokey finish with the director's cut.

User Reviews

Unintentionally comical! You need to be high to get through this...

Stylish with some surreal touches, but lost all the complexities of the book. It falls into the: 'so-bad-it's-entertaining' category. A vacuous, one-dimensional performance from Amber Heard adds nothing to an incoherent plot. Jim Sturgess epically over-acts to hilarious levels! What was the director thinking? No wonder Johnny Depp wanted to remain un-credited
