Review Detail

This was one of my favorite movies in the 90's and I was amazed by how this edit improved the movie! The casting is fantastic and I think Gary Oldman was never given the credit he deserves and an actor.

This edit just does so many things right that I can't name them all. Taking out the air of creepiness that this film has associated with it (Portman is only 12 here) was probably the best thing the editors could have done. The flashbacks, and the music.... Ohhhh the music! As someone who has played with music myself I can't begin to describe the feeling I was getting as basically every single song choice was perfect in my eyes. I won't name them all but a couple of my favorites came from Tori Amos and Edie Brickell.

I should point out that the replacement music is only obvious because I know the source material really well. The editors blended everything in seamlessly and no one would even know if this was the first time watching the film and that is the goal of a good fanedit.
