More a realistic look at romantic relationships than a good romantic tale.

Rating: 7/10 (12 September 2004)

POSSIBLE SPOILERS.
It does not have the greatest of on-screen chemistries, but the protagonists just manage to be believable.
The film itself is not a very good (and definitely not great) romantic encounter - but it is by no means bad or average either. You do believe they are romantically interested in each other, but that is not the main focus.
It is a look at the various aspects of romance and relevant relationships, as the would-be lovers discuss away whilst walking through the city - which means, a LOT of talking. Look elsewhere for romantic saccharine.
And in some ways, it is also an attractive postcard from Vienna.
