I saw the movie last night. Incredibly powerful. Yes, it's a good movie but I had a VERY tough time with all the graphic violence, not to mention a very tough time comprehending what people do and did to each other during war and during everyday life.

Renne Zellweger gives an amazing performance and deserves the nomination for best (supporting) actress. All the acting was very good, but somehow Nicole Kidman was just too beautiful, even during scenes with no makeup and swollen red eyes. Not her fault, of course. Jude Law's beauty somehow didn't bother me!

The music was incidental but very appropriate in the movie. There are a few songs on the soundtrack that I don't remember hearing in the movie, but that could be because of the gripping drama. The best song (in my opinion) was Scarlet Tide sung by Alison Krauss, and that doesn't happen until a few minutes into the final credits, so most people were not in the theater to hear it.

I'd like to see portions of this movie again, but probably couldn't do so unless I could fast-forward past the truly disturbing scenes, of which there were many. (Tears started shortly after the beginning and lasted intermittently to the end). Glad I went to see this, glad I have the soundtrack. So sorry I can't deny the horror of stories like this.
