Review of Lady in the Water (2006) by Anne B — 24 Feb 2011
Lady in the Water is a criminally underrated work of cinematic genius. M. Night continues to shatter all preconceptions about narrative. I can't even remember if there was a plot twist in this movie; and if there wasn't-well that's a twist in and of itself.
As if redefining 'plot' as we know it weren't enough, Shyamalan also makes an appearance on screen, brilliantly portraying the gifted young writer whose work will redeem the world (sound familiar?).
He does so with the utmost sincerity and purest of intentions, and his performance is heartbreaking. "Lady" totally blows every other film of 2006 out of the water. 5/5 stars.
