Doesn’t offer simple explanations
Two men and two women visit a lonely island where an unsolved murder case happened more than a century ago. Tension in their relationships leads them into a conflict situation as well. Both stories are intricately woven together. I really liked the parallel narration, because it enhances the emotional effect and it’s so much more elegant than the traditional flashback (brown filter, `Attention please, here comes a flashback’). When the movie was over, I didn’t just say to myself: so, that was it! Instead, I wandered around for a quarter of an hour, thinking it over again, because it doesn’t offer simple explanations. A challenge for the audience!

I didn’t see Sean Penn in any movie for about 10 years and never was a fan, but here he delivers a really good performance as the poet. Liz Hurley is very, very sexy. Catherine McCormack gets the best line of dialogue: `When a woman kills, it’s usually her spouse.’ Take heed of the warning, guys. But the surprise of the movie is Sarah Polley as the immigrant’s wife. She is taught to be silent and obedient, thus there is so much to read in her eyes only – until she explodes. Must go now and get a copy of her next movie `The Claim’. “The Weight of Water” gets 9 out 10 from me, I daresay.
