That is pretty freaky (considering the theme of the film itself).
By the way, for what it's worth, Kate Winslet usually annoys me. She's one of those actresses I tend to "respect" as opposed to "love". However, she really nails this character, IMHO. She walks a very fine line between endearing and infuriating, which is pretty difficult to do. Congrats to her for making it work.
This is a film that probably demands multiple viewings. I just finished watching it for the first time, but I'm already aching to see it again. Regardless of whether or not you actually like ESOTSM, you can't deny it's inventiveness. If Hollywood would make more films like this and less films like Hidalgo then I might actually be excited about attending the local cineplex again.
