A measured, seductive pace isn't a drawback for a film in and of itself, but this character drama from director Alain Berliner becomes turgid before finally cohering in its finale with a twist ending that's delightfully unexpected -- but also vaguely unsatisfying. The first English-language film from Berliner is centered around a dual performance by actress Demi Moore, who stretches with a pair of roles that are softer, more psychologically substantial and maternal than her previous hard-body characters required. Too much of the film's second act delves into the personal and romantic lives of the two central characters, however, leaving a preponderance of unanswered questions once the third act revelation is unveiled. Comparisons of the film to Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowki's international hit The Double Life of Veronique (1991) are inevitable, but the earlier film, while filmed in the same lush hues, contained numerous clever visual symbols that reinforced its heroine's duality, making it a richer cinematic experience.
