7/10
A unique and fascinating film.
12 September 2004
"The Caveman's Valentine" is a fascinating, uncondescending exploration of schizophrenia AND a workable mystery with a surprise at the end. Before viewing it, I expected more of the latter, but the movie keeps its ingredients on a uniquely suspenseful balance. Samuel Jackson is impressive, both for accepting such an "unglamorous" role and for the way he actually pulls it off. Movies that have something different to show you are so rare these days that when you get the chance to watch one, you shouldn't miss it. (***)
