Review of Let Me In (2010) by Reid V — 31 Jan 2012
A valiant effort and a surprisingly enjoyable watch. It is an exercise in style and mood that is well-executed. However, lacks any of the depth and beauty of the original. Also, while Reeves adapts this Swedish tale in an interesting way by setting it in a America ravaged by Reaganomics, the message is a bit too heavy handed.
Overall, a good try. But doesn't come close to touching the original. Go figure.
