Believable (though unlikely) love story

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2004)

Being that this starred Ethan Hawke, it wasn't hard to convince me to see this. I had heard some "rumor" of this being a follow up to another film but I paid little attention.
Truth be told, this is a brilliant film. I'm not quite sure which part is the best - the subtle acting or the casual conversation in which this film is written. From the very first instant, the audience is drawn into the story as a sort of "fly" who happens to be listening to two long lost friends and lovers. Both Hawke and Delpy are so comfortable and casual with each other that you feel as though this really happened and is not just some movie.
Hilariously witty dialogue and true to life observations, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. There is a definite passion that emits from both actors, creating an even stronger sense of belief in the possibility of this happening. Absolutely brilliant, this is one of the best films I've seen this year. Brilliant acting is only the beginning of the greatness of this film.
10/10 A MUST see!
