When real life starts imitating art..

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2006)

Just watched this movie, and I must say, the movie is full of truths that I thought I would never see in a film, its a fresh diversion from stories that tries too much, movies that tries to portray a grander version of life as it really is, when life is really cruel, gray and full of lies and deceit. Natalie and Julia's performances were flawless, as with Jude and Clive's compelling dialogues -- rings true to life, as if one would have just said them, just days ago in normal everyday life, this film is by no means a happy film, but in essence it is the very search for happiness itself, or is it contentment?, once found, how one will sacrifice and compromise for it, and yet break from it, and the truth, although we plainly see it, will always hurt, when said.
