I'll have to agree with you that the movie moved slowly, but I think that's part of the point. It must have seemed like a terribly long time to Nicole Kidman's character (I forget her name, I haven't seen the movie for about 3 years.) to have to endure the treatment that she was getting. I live in a very small town -- 600 people -- and I can imagine something like that happening here.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think doing the film on a sound stage with the houses having imaginary walls and doors was a bit of genius.
