I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Excellent, smart action film.

Disturbing yet enthralling

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Excellent movie and one largely overlooked beautiful thing about it is the music - old songs, from 30. and 40. and 50. One may wonder whether anything shown in there happened in reality as Victoria Foyt plays it quite convincingly.... It is also interesting that the director directed his wife's nude scenes... Amazing film, done largely in the manner of filming documentary drama, and that was in 1997! However, whenever I see a movie like this I think why on earth directors do not put children in such stories.... because when children are there, there is no room for good romance or finding the love of your life.... it's just that simple :-(

This film has a cheesy improvisational feel about it that leaves you wondering what piece of schtick is going to be thrown up next. The overall plot is immediately obvious, tied together with hopeless sub-plots, leaving the viewer to focus on the next silly discontinuity. There is a particularly gratuitous sub-plot centered on the Vanessa Redgrave character and her aging mother (both real and in character) that bears no connection at all to the rest of the story. On the other hand, it was probably the best part of the film. Otherwise, there is little to take away from this miss-by-a-mile.

Oh my God that was bad. A la Woody Allen, the actors seemed to be striving to get by with just a wisp of an idea and their own identification with their character. They failed. Miserably. The conversations were wooden and facial expressions usually consisted of self-conscious smiles (grimaces?). When a person is struggling to put their deepest doubts or uncertainties into words, one doesn't have a smile upon one's face. I'm just grateful that I didn't pay good money to see this in a theater or that a friend had recommended it. I would have been out the money and would have been terribly disappointed in my friend.

This is a love story with more truth than is comfortable sometimes.
I think most of us have either loved two people at once or had to decide whether we should stay or leave a relationship. That struggle is what this movie is about. Stay with what is comfortable or follow your heart.This movie is a bit uneven, sometimes pulling you in so deeply that you can hardly breathe, then in the very next scene you will feel like you are watching a documentary. You feel you know how it will end one moment, and the next you are uncertain. The film takes you back and forth on so many levels. I think that's the point of the movie's structure really -- the watcher is pulled one way and then the other, just like the people in the movie.We all have to make choices, do you want to follow your heart, no matter where it takes you and accept the uncertainty that goes with it, or do you stay with the comfortable stability of the known?A powerful movie. If you have a chance to see it, go for it. I would recommend seeing it alone to get the full impact. Commercials and chatter would ruin the mood.
