Yeah I guess, and I like this idea very much. I just didn't think it was convincing, that aspect. It could have been done either to make it seem like the things she was seeing weren't real, or that they were real. Either way..I just didn't feel it did a good job in being one of those movies that make you think. I like those kinds of movies, and this movie just didn't do that to me....didn't make me think about things, like say Donnie Darko or The Fountain did. So it wasn't convincing as either a thought-provoking/philosophical or experimental film (which it really wasn't) nor as a fantasy film either. It seemed like a historical drama with some fantasy elements thrown in. In other words, it didn't seem to know what it wanted to be.

Movie was ok, bummed me out though

I was a big fan of the imagery and scenery, not so much the story line. Aside from the ending, it was a tad predictable.
