this movie was so incredibly bad. i haven't read the book, but i assume it was probably very good, as giphart usually is a great writer... but this movie... there was not one single highlight. the storyline was badly laid out, none of the characters had any depth whatsoever. all reza was, was insanity and sex. she shows some emotion but there isn't any depth to the emotion...there seems to be no connections between events, it's all so jaggedly put together. maybe some good acting could have balanced out the bad storyline, but unfortunately the actors were horrible as well. antonie kamerling's narration sounded like he was doing an imitation of bert (bert & ernie) from sesame street!! angela schijf had her alright moments, but overall she was just over-acting. which can be said also for beau whatever-his-last-name-is. every so often the audience was confronted with 'symbolic' changes in the scenery ( ie lack of color after the relationship with reza is over, the dead guinea pig) that are so painfully obvious. this movie is trying to be artsy and intelligent when it simply isnt capable of being so. they could have done something great with the story... too bad they f*ck*d it up so thoroughly!!

If this was the best dutch cinema had to offer these years, my worst fears have come true. I have NEVER, even in dutch movies, seen worse acting. I couldn't get myself to watch it for more than 40 minutes, so if that's the cause of me missing the genius, so be it.

This movie was special to me cause it also was about personality disorder and during that time I was tested about it . It is a story about a destructive love , but also about Borderline cause Reza in this movie is a Borderliner . This story is based on a book of a Dutch writer and has the same title but the movie is a lot changed from the book . It is Angela Schijf first movie role and she really plays Reza well The movie is about the love between Eric and Reza . They meet in a short time and fall in love . After a while their relationship changes and he founds out Reza is different then other girls . Reza is selfdestructive and hangs on to Eric like he is her only hope .Eric is terrified by that , cause he loves her but doesn't understand her moodswings , her outbursts and her harming herself . Reza truly loves him but doesn't know how to handle it and starts claiming him more , which drives them only further apart .This movie was good cause it was about Borderline and made the others that watched the movie more understandable to it . And it is also about a love that is going wrong because they both couldn't deal with it .If you ever going go to watch this movie be sure to take tissues with you cause it will is surely going to make you cry.

Wow, A very good movie!!! The movie may start a little slow but when the story about the impossible love between Reza and Eric starts you just get suck in sooo deep, you won't be able to get your eyes from the screen!!!See it! Angela Schijf is very good! The movie about Reza's twisted character and the love Eric feels for her, the troubles that comes with it and the love he gets from it, it's amazing!
