    Whoever thought the dream sequence within a dream sequence was a good idea should be put in front of a firing squad.

    Had to support Brooklynn Prince on opening weekend! (And Brooklynn is great of course) Overall, I think the big problem with the film is the script. There were script issues that required some reshoots and I guess the studio simply couldn't figure out how to save it. But…

    What was up with that ending? Did they fire the writers last minute and decide to just put it out as is?

It’s really not a good sign when a movie ends with a bold, shocking flourish and much of the audience can be heard muttering through the credits: “Wait, um ... WHAT?”

The Turning announces Sigismondi as a bold and adept genre filmmaker, with an eye for detail and impeccable casting choices.

It’s the movie’s open-endedness and literary vestiges that sit uneasily with its repetitive goosings, which manifest in exceedingly familiar ways.
