sah reviewed The Box (2009)
Box by Pandora
The film has some Pandora's Box Issues suggesting women bring chaos into the world. It's a bit too preachy by suggesting that we're all selfish and that we're to be judged by others. Kelly's world is often interesting, albeit a tad Big Brother--ish. The film lacks cohesion as it tries to discuss and deal with big picture issues--especially when it tires to show whose side everyone is on.
