It was just like being there

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2004)

Not one second of this movie seemed in any way contrived. It was as if I was the proverbial "fly on the wall" listening in on a very plausible, convincing personal conversation between two people who fell in love nine years ago and haven't seen each other since . . . or forgotten each other for so much as a minute. I was totally involved in this movie from near the start until the last minute . . . which is perfectly done. At the end, you know what's going to happen right then, but not where the next few hours will lead. There has to be another update to this story which takes us to where they are in, say, 2009. If the next chapter were to appear, I'd be waiting in line to see it -- along with many, many more who "get" this extraordinary film I'm sure.
