After watching the movie, I imagine critics scurrying to their writing machines to stack up severe criticisms on M Night’s “Lady in the water”. They, no doubt, will speak of the movie’s predictability and how there is a complete lack of surprise endings or ghosts talking to kids. I only hope they have enough grey matter to recognize the pot shot taken against them in the movie!
And as always, I am going to completely discard these reviews. I think M Night has done it again. The dexterity with which he takes up and eccentric topic and goes berserk on it, is simply amazing.
Think of the movie as a modern age fairly tale. I could draw metaphoric interferences but I don’t think the director would want me to. Instead, I wiped my slate clean as I always do before I see his movies, and enjoyed this magical story telling experience. And like always, there is a plethora of morals and conclusions that hit you as exit the talkies and head towards the car.
Perhaps my only gripe is that this movie shares a similar theme with “Signs” (His best creation yet). But make no mistake, M Night guarantees you an alternative movie experience. A pure, unadulterated, storytelling under dimmed lights, like no other…

that’s great, me actually planning to watch it, saw trailers with superman seemed to be good… looks like i was right
