A middle-aged French woman, Marjorie (Charlotte Rampling), is betrayed by her American husband, Alec (Stellan Skarsgard) while they are living abroad in Athens with their two children.

For all its ambition and richness of style, Signs & Wonders never shows us what's inside Alec.

I hate to drag out that word again, but it's seriously needed here: pretentious.

A textbook example of a pretentious art film.

As a drama about the ravages of mental illness, the movie works.

You're beginning to understand why Unger seems to be in such a daze: she's read the script.

Signs and Wonders fails because Mr. Nossiter doesn't bother to define the women as characters; he seems as deluded as Alec.

Nossiter's claustrophobic digital video camerawork and an intelligent script he co-wrote with James Lasdun elevate the proceedings above standard psychodrama.

Signs & Wonders is that true rarity, a forceful film of a unique and original vision.

An overwrought film that, in the third act, collapses into pretentious symbolism, art-film abstraction without real purpose, and unintentional comedy.

Despite its technical focus, Signs & Wonders is a rewarding experience if watched through the end.

Though the action is superficially mundane, Jonathan Nossiter's second film, shot on digital video, is suffused with menace.
