simplistic reality - loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2004)

Fantastic cast - great performances from all 4, but wonder how different it would have been had Cate Blanchette played Anna's role, as was originally intended (I think she has a wider range than Julia - don't get me wrong, I like Julia but I just wonder how different the film would feel had she been in it)... anyway, still, the movie was so intriguing because you wonder who ends up w/ whom and how love can make people do some crazy things. As shocking as the premise may be, it is hauntingly realistic (which is scary because I'm a romantic)- people do fall in and out of love so easily and are willing to fulfill their own desires and needs while hurting a loved one ... but isn't that what life is all about?: being happy? But in the end, who is truly happy? I love the humor and dialogue in the film ... fabulous all around.
