Probably the least political film nominated for an Oscar this year.

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2006)

This movie tells a full story that involves complex circumstances and fully drawn character's dealing with life and love that is both unspoken and repressed for various reasons. It's a story that hasn't been told on the big screen. Though the film has homosexual content it is not a story made for gay people or gay men. The story is actually simple. But given the tough blow's both the male and female character's are faced with the viewer can easily become involved in the complex and conflicted emotions and thoughts these excellent actors present to us. It's not a feel good movie but is a very engaging, well paced (directed) and original film.
