one of the most romantic, sweet, cruel and intensely true-to-life stories I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2004)

This movie is not for everyone. This is not your everyday bennifer romantic comedy which has sorority girls packing the aisles. This is a movie which requires open-mindedness and concentration and true appreciation for the flawed beauty of love.
I read that some people thought the editing was shotty. I say the editing was almost irrelevant. This movie was a story and characters, and nothing else mattered. The special effects used were sometimes hilarious or sometimes subtle and classy and other times dramatic and profound, but they merely enhanced the film.
The acting was superb. You feel like you've known these people your whole life, and you feel as desperate to give them happiness as they seem in searching for it.
There is great pain, great sadness, but all is healed by an infinite hope for renewal. This movie is a gift to the spirit.
