good films

the film is filled with humorous observations about the general absurdity of modern life as seen through the eyes outsiders , but deftly manages to avoid many of the condescending stereotypes that so often plague films dealing with the mentally ill

a very well-meaning movie , and it will stand in future years as an eloquent memorial to the world trade center tragedy .
1
filmmaking with a visually masterful work of quiet power

1
one problem with the movie , directed by joel schumacher , is that it jams too many prefabricated story elements into the running time .
