excellent

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2004)

I'm a cynical movie viewer. I hate bad movies with no plot lines and sub-par acting. I also do not like schmaltzy movies. With that in mind, this movie is amazing. It gets you to a place in your emotions that very few movies can. Have some Kleenex or something for the last 20 minutes or so.
Johnny Depp is amazing...one of his quieter roles. Kate Winslet is beautiful and talented (ever since Eternal Sunshine, I'm starting to respect her so much more). Julie Christie is perfect for her role. Dustin Hoffman is funny. Freddie Highmore is a wonderful young actor with a gift that is hard to describe.
