If this film had no dialogue and we could see only the visuals, it would be a masterpiece. Tarsem's direction is superb. He comes up with some great images. Unfortunately, the screenplay is filled with terrible, cringey dialogue, and despite good actors in the film, they can't really pull it off, though they try. It might be a good idea to watch the film with the volume turned all the way down so one doesn't have to hear the terrible dialogue. A pity, because there's a lot to like in this film. It's a shame the script isn't better. A good idea for a script, but terrible in execution. So 6/10, which may be overly generous.
