The Queen of Sheba's Pearls

Ackerman looks eerily similar to Jack Bradley's (James Hawkins) mother who inexplicably died in an WWII-related accident eight years prior.

Ackerman also proves to be an unsettling force in Jack's life by offering advice that turns out to be eerily omniscient and fairy godmother-like.

Finally, Colin Nutley was nominated for the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

"[3] Sandra Hall, an Australian critic, provided a more mixed review of the film, saying that Nutley is "not great on plot mechanics and narrative dovetailing.

"[4] However, while critics, film analysts, and awards committees agreed that the film has superb casting and behind the scenes elements, it is not especially popular or well-known with the general public, as evidenced by the lack of comments and support on a number of public review sites including Flixster[5] and Rotten Tomatoes.
