Apparently it's typical of some of M. Night Shyamalan's later work. It has the fairy tale quality to it, but I'm not sure how suitable it is for children. Much has been made of Shyamalan's "self-indulgence" in casting himself in an important protagonist's role, but I think the criticism is overstated, as he does not have more screen time than is called for, and he does little more than stare at people, open-mouthed. Too expensive for the rental on Google, though.

Oh yes, I liked this one. Giamatti pleased me in his quite tragic role of a lone janitor and the mythology created by Shyamalan was actually nice.

Il film mi è piaciuto a metà. Il primo tempo è noioso mentre il secondo è veramente bello.
