When I decided to watch this title I was pretty convinced that it would be a good movie, because how on earth could a movie with Toni Collette, Thomas Haden Church AND Johnny Depp be a sucky one. I was right.
It wasn't a movie that was all that special in the beginning, it builds up very slowly, but up to the point that the climax is so gratifying and so in the moment. I felt like I was there!
The scene it was all built up to, where she finally gets to see Matthew. The walk from the car towards the fence seemed to be soooo long and I could feel the suspense and my heart beating faster and feeling it because I really felt like it was me, it was so familiar. The dreadful walk towards something that could be making or breaking. It's horrifying but all at the same time it could form such a relief because you know that after this you will know. You'll be certain of whatever it is you need to be certain of. But do you actually want to know what it is you're about to find out?
That scene - and particularly that piece - was everything.
