Full Review Overall Grade: C+ Story: B- Acting: A- Direction: C Visuals: C Only Thing Clear Is the Wasted Potential.... by deckard_hr (movies profile) (Oct 31, 2005) 4 of 6 people found this review helpful "The Clearing" is a disappointing movie. It's dark, gloomy, and never suspenseful. The performances are all spot on, Oscar-stuff and all, but the performances are so far... Full Review Overall Grade: A Story: A- Acting: A+ Direction: A+ Visuals: A- Great Ending by bachfeuer (movies profile) (Dec 23, 2005) 4 of 6 people found this review helpful There is no way I would have missed a film with three such wonderful actors.
