Secret Life of Words, The
USA 2005, 115 minutes
Dir. Isabel Coixet
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Controversy
Topics: Rites-of-passage.
Feat. Sarah Polley, Tim Robbins, Julie Christie
Aroview: Intense character-driven drama set on an isolated oil rig that explores the relationship between a hearing-impaired factory worker disabled by her past and a temporarily blinded burn victim she must care for.
Powerful performances from Sarah Polley (also from dir. Coixet's MY LIFE WITHOUT ME) and Tim Robbins play on the inherent tension and suffocating environment of the oil rig to reveal their troubled pasts. A well cast and insightfully directed work, this comes highly recommended.

5 stars (Exceptional) A remarkable film that gets to you in a devastating way. The story of Hannah is the story of the millions that have been forgotten. Subtle and brilliant; very unusual - nothing else like it! ~Sandy
