Thought-provoking

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2004)

Even as a not-so-big fan of indie films, I thought this was one of the best movies I've ever seen. While Braff was already my favorite actor and Portman my favorite actress before seeing this film, they further cemented their standings as such with this film. The overriding theme of the movie (breaking away from your past and taking a chance on the future) is what I've been fighting in my own life for the last year or so, and it was so harrowing to see my entire thought process played out on screen. This movie really made me dig deep into my subconscious and consider what really matters to me in my life. Out of four stars, I give it five.
