Nature taking its course?

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2006)

Being 40 I was surprised to still have the ability to be a hopeless romantic. This is always welcome. If you do have this ability you will love the film. If you like an intelligent script with great acting skills you will also like this film. Julie played superb and she closed the film in such great style that you simply couldn't avoid to enjoy happiness with Ethans character. Ethan, if you ever read this, please find more films of this kind. You give us a nice break for us seeing you in a strong character role instead of having some form of FBI agent character. One other actor has that affinity and funny enough he is said to be a close friend of yours.
I see this film like a tribute to simple nostalgia (especially in this high running lifestyle we all live in), a tribute to the ability for us, no matter how old we are, to pick up a lifeline we have left and more importantly, a tribute to the kind of film making which I almost though was disappeared. Bravo.
I do find myself as an emotional film critic because very few films do get my respect and result afterward in a personal session analyzing it. Wonderful not to see all the special effects, irritating one liners and simply use the intense conversation between two strong individuals. A conversation which is following the course of nature. You could almost use the famous film quote: "You got me at hello". When these two people meet, the question was more when then if. Being so obvious this didn't by any means destroy the true plot of the film. The plot to follow the unavoidable fact that when we encounter something so right for us, we do grab it and seize it without having any scruples and success in our life's.
Great film. Thanks
