In this wildly unpredictable thriller, Nicole Kidman is the meticulous Nancy Vandergroot, a teacher and homemaker whose picture-perfect life with her community pillar husband (Matthew Macfadyen) and son (Jude Hill) in tulip-filled Holland, Michigan tumbles into a twisted tale. Nancy and her friendly colleague (Gael García Bernal) become suspicious of a secret, only to discover nothing in their lives is what it seems.​

I had to cling to the potential and great ideas the movie has to actually enjoyed portions of this movie about Nancy, a teacher in a small midwestern town (Holland, Michigan) seemingly living a nice life with her husband and son but something may be laying beneath all the niceness. I enjoyed the performances from the cast including ,Nicole Kidman as Nancy Vandergroot ,Gael Garcia Bernal as Dave Delgado ,Matthew MacFadyen as Fred Vandergroot. The performances includes some nice quirkiness and blends of the year 2000 in which the movie takes place and a corny 1950's vibe. I did like how the assumptions characters made played out between the characters, i liked how some of it was based on pure boredom and desire. Visually it's great especially when it comes to the nightmare scenes. I was happily shocked by a couple of paths the movie takes especially towards the climax.


PROBLEMS: It is extremely dissapointing that the movie never really adds up to much. I kept thinking if they go this route it will be like a great Twilight Zone episode,if they do this or that that will make such a great twist to end the movie on. But unfortunately the movie takes none of the aforementioned paths just plays with ideas. There was no payoff for the patience and time I gave the movie.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 5
