  • Starring: Diane Kruger, Josh Hartnett, Matthew Lillard
  • Summary: Intricately moving back and forth in time and revealing the story from each character's perspective, Wicker Park is an intense psychological drama about a man (Hartnett) caught in an obsessive search for a woman he fell deeply in love with -- a woman who then vanished without a trace.

    It would be tempting to say that fractured time sequences in movies have become a cliché, except that Wicker Park makes your brain spin in surprising and pleasurable ways.

    Diane Kruger, whose Lisa is subjected to logical whiplash by the plot, always seems to know when it is and how she should feel. Now that's acting.

    Aside from Rose Byrne's complex performance, there's nothing here that improves upon the original.

    Structure overwhelms everything, but it's not as if Wicker Park has nothing to say. It's full of ugly truths about emotional frailty, and implies that stalking is a bad thing only when you're not charming enough about it.

    This is a rich,complicated story that is told masterfully. The style of narrative is like Memento, told in non-chronlogical order. Yes, this movie makes you think. You have to use your brain to figure out what is going on. I am so sick of people bashing films that require a conscious effort to understand. Overall, a wonderful film with excellent direction and good acting, but more importantly a fantastic script.… Expand

    Pros: interesting story, beyond excellent acting, excellent direction and setting cons: to complex for the average american joe (thats why it got such low rating) overview: If you are a scum sucking American with a mind as intruiging as a peanut, then don't watch this film. If youre mind is as intruiging as a peanut in an antique bowl from the age of the ancient greeks, then watch it.… Expand

    An interesting romance that strives for the quote "what's meant to be will always find its way." It seemed like Wicker Park tried to attract both audiences of the Romance genre: the innocent; for the happy, mushy ending with rated-PG dialogue; and the naughty; by the misleading cover.… Expand

    Boring, wondering when it would be over. Could have read a good book instead.
