Epihany.. resonated... the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2005)

This was the most emotional movie experience I can recall, ever. So beautiful, and so true. A movie that had me riveted to the screen in spite of its simple setting: No sex scenes, no action, no stunts or special effects: just two people talking.
"The one that got away": one reason this film touched me so is that this is the story of my life, too. Twenty years ago I too let the one that got away get away. I am Canadian, she was Italian. My story's setting was Rome. So similar.
But the characters in this movie get another chance; I found myself almost shouting at them "take that chance - take it". This movie brought tears to my eyes - lots of them.
To anyone who has ever chosen to take a path in life, or chosen not to take that path, I say "please see this movie".
I also say "follow your heart" - If I could have watched this movie 20 years ago, my entire life would be different now. Few movies can make that sort of claim.
The story is great, the acting is natural and superb, and it is almost impossible not to fall in love with Julie Delpy.
Wow.
