Interesting movie. I do recommend it but I have issues with it.
First of all, well directed movie, the cinematography was good, score was beautiful overall whatever the vision was for the film, they have accomplished it.
My issue is with the plot and screen time. I feel the film went tad too long and should have ended early. Also the characters response to the situation is not real or adequate enough, meaning that if someone is to come across such a situation there would be more questions.
So my first complaint is that when the kid first comes up to Anna and claims to be her dead husband, she scoffs him away! What! Aren't you a bit curious who this kid is? How did he know about her dead husband? Why come now? What all does this kid know etc? I expected a barrage of questions but nah nothing. Also at the 'don't talk to Anna again' scene in the corridor, aren't you bit curious Anna and Joseph? Don't you want to ask questions? Isn't it all very interesting and curious? So for me till they began asking him relevant questions, it was all time waste. Then the kid started laying down facts and Anna falls for it. And we can't blame her, the whole thing is quite spooky.
Problem for Anna is there's no other way but to believe the kid about Sean being reincarnated. The fact that you can trick someone with the information on their love letters is very very scary. Anna is unable to figure out how the kid knows about all these stuff and have to eventually believe the kid is reincarnated. She wouldn't at all have thought of those love letters stored by Sean's lover as being the source. Therefore the eventual turmoil she faces is very believable.
For me there is no doubt left in my mind that the kid is a fraud. Why the fudge is that kid still writing to Anna despite saying he is not Sean and that he is lying? He is fudging with her head. And why hasn't Anna pursued to know the source via which he got all the info and lied about. When the kid says he is not Sean, that should have been the first question. How the fudge did you know all these stuff?? Maybe she wants to believe he is reincarnated and thinks Sean wants her to lead a normal life and the kid deliberately lied. Thats the only reasonable explanation why she didn't pursue for the source and why she still remains tormented at her wedding.
Why Clara didn't talk about this to Anna might be because Anna, out of anger and resentment over the broken perfect husband image might tell it to Clifford and that could end Clara's marriage. So it is kind of justifiable why she hasn't told this to Anna.
The kid is a psychopath. The kid got hold of the letters, learned the details and messes with a family. And still continues to do so by manipulating her head. From that last scene monologue by the kid, it seems Anna didn't get to know his source nor did the kid reveal nor did Clara (Sean's lover) reveal. So the kid despite knowing the act is over and that he is caught (by Clara), is still playing the Sean card and being sentimental and all by saying let's meet in another lifetime, the experts can figure it out, mom says it's a spell and other BS. Duh nobody can figure out where you got this info from, sicko kid. And still the kid is playing innocent. This kid is an a**hole.
Therefore this movie is about a fraud kid, using details from unopened love letters to fraud a woman and claim her in a way. Basically he brainwashed her and got the idea into her head to wait for about a decade to make her his wife. This is an evil kid!
PS - I don't give a hoot about the scenes with Anna and the kid. It was all okay, stop making big issue out of it weirdos.
