Picture
*****

Superb supernatural thriller starring Bruce Willis as a child psychologist who sets out to help a young boy overcome his fears as a way of atoning for a previous professional failure.  The first, and best, of the modern wave of gimmick films -- precisely because the gimmick here is so fully integrated into the plot that knowing it has no adverse effect on one's enjoyment of the picture.  (For all that, though, it's a remarkable bit of prestidigitation.)  Haley Joel Osment gives a terrific performance as the boy and Willis is perfectly subdued as his would-be doctor.  Suspenseful and emotionally engaging.  Also written by Shyamalan.
