Ratings and reviews

This is a great psychological thriller/mystery/horror/drama film. I love the concept, which I feel has only become more relevant in this Facebook age that we live in. Voyeurism, privacy invasions, abuse of position/privilege, loneliness, and mental health concerns are all at play in this movie, which I feel was slightly futuristic, technologically advanced, and ahead of its time, despite the fact that it was released in the early 2000s, the digital camera era that had film processing declines.

This movie warms my heart. The best movie ever. R.I.P robin williams. God bless your kind soul. We miss you.

Williams in another mind-warping role. His depth as an actor is unparalleled.
