Add a CommentWhen I first saw Sayles film "Lone Star," it touched me on a level I couldn't even fully explain. When I saw Limbo I was amazed that he'd done it to me again! Limbo is painted with rich textures, sounds that haunt you and the earnest feeling that you actually know these people. I felt as if I was there with them, my life threatened and frightened. Who would have thought that a young girl reading from a diary would contain more raw power and intensity than a Schwarzenegger movie?--another masterpiece of filmmaking by a master director.
Absolute rubbish. A complete waste of time. The DVD box promises beautiful outdoor scenery but it never happens. The story is cheesy, sentimental slop. The whole movie is more painful than watching Paris Hilton in a spelling bee.
