This film is the definitive treatise on the unique nature of the human heart which depicts two characters caught up in a love that proves to be stronger than they are.

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

This film and this ensemble cast is perfect. The director painstakingly builds the story and the actors deftly portray the roles for which they are perfectly cast. I saw this movie with several friends of varying ages and we were all deeply moved and speechless as we left the packed theater. It is truly the best film I have seen in years on every level. It is the definitive treatise on the unique nature of the human heart which depicts two characters caught up in a love that proves to be stronger than they are. There is no predicting when or where one will lose their heart and intellectualizing cannot do away with true love. If this film does not sweep every award out there I am giving up on the movie industry completely. Better yet, there are no explosions, car chases, etc. This is just a powerful story, masterfully told. Hooray for excellent cinema, it still lives!
