	At first I thought that was just a detective story or a scary movie - but it is not! The "gifted" woman, Annie, is a conflicted character, blaming herself for her husband's death and unable to forgive herself or seek forgiveness... And then there is a series of horrific events, thanks to which she evolves. Nothing is at it seems to be... devils are in angel's disguise and the most uncontrollable man, half-mad and living in total denial is actually her best Buddy... And it's not too important whether you figure out what really is going on (of course the more surprised you are-the bigger fun), but it's the question whether SHE will be able to... and she had better not... In the end, she finally receives forgiveness, a clean handkerchief, a "carte blanche" form another world that finally seems to disperse her guilt and clear her sky (the last scene of the movie - wonderful... ) In that aspect the movie reminds me a bit of the Sixth Sense, but there is one very important difference that makes it worth seeing. When the mystery is about to be solved - there are these spinning images and in Annie's eyes the reality mixes with visions - suddenly the spectator feels as if some part of these ESP abilities is transferred to them ("Oh my God! I see it! It's... ") and this is a SMASHING experience. And Katie Holmes is OK, but Cate Blanchett is so spiritually attractive - I really wanted to take her head in my hands and kiss her tears... (9/10)
