I liked it but I didn't like it.

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2004)

How is it possible to like and dislike the same movie?
The plot is very much like that Jody Foster thing, Sommersby, only not as good. Nicole was great....Jude was adequate. They didn't give him many lines...is there a reason for that? Generally, he's a pretty good actor. She's so elegant, his character is so country bumpkin. It makes one wonder what they see in each other.
Romance between two such was only successful in Lady Chatterly's Lover.
I think the dislike comes about because the movie is too long. They could have told the story in two hours.
The story is good. Good locations, good filming. The character actors were great.
