Relatively slow moving dialog between two strangers that become lovers

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2006)

This is a nicely done film with good acting by the two principal actors, although it is very slow moving and really oriented toward the "twenty something" crowd. We kept expecting something more exciting to happen, which never materialized. In the end, we could not understand the high ratings it received when compared to films like The English Patient and many others, which had slightly lower ratings on IMDb.
We also felt this was a rather low budget film, basically over-rated and would never take the time to watch it a second time 5 or 10 years later - unlike many other well done films worth seeing again. If you are young and looking for a romantic interlude to pass some time - go for it!
