Wow!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2005)

I had the good fortune of catching the premiere of this film at the Toronto Film Festival. I went in not knowing anything about the movie or story and for 2 hours was transfixed in a singularly heartbreaking tale of unrequited love. The kind of the film that you will keep going back to...because you want to savor and cherish the moments with the desperate hope that we can somehow make time stand still, that we can rewind the characters' lives and have them make different choices and we can bask in wonderful performances (Heath Ledger provides a sensational yet understated study in affection)and the brilliant directing of Ang Lee. Bravo!!
