Wow....

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2005)

At the end of this movie there was me, stumbling out of the cinema, tears pouring down my face. Ouch. The pain you feel as you watch this movie is unbelievable.
The trailers looked cute and smiley, you know, the usual: people meet, they fall in love, fall out of love, fall in love again, this time with the right person, and everyones happy. Not this movie.
One thing I did find irritating was that both the female characters were stunning while both the male characters were... not. I guess they're acting compensated though. All veterans of the big screen, they all performed incredibly in what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging and demanding roles I assume they would ever have to do. Even if you have had no previous experience in this particular area of life, a little thing we call love, the way in which you know the turmoil and the pain that is tearing the characters apart little by little, is astounding.
A stunning movie where reality comes to the big screen. Love hurts. Thats life. This movie nearly missed a 10 from me for only one reason: I like a happy ending. I can't help it.
Brilliant but not something which helps you sleep easy at night.
