What's Unsaid Speaks Volumes

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2020)

I'm just getting around to seeing this movie after accidentally watching "Broken Flowers." Murray's performance was so good that I sought out another and I'm so glad that I did. Although 17 years late, I know its probably a good thing because I might not have appreciated exactly how good this movie is if I had watched it back then.
This is about a chance encounter resulting in an unexpected and very unlikely connection which leads to a much needed escape for both. In each other's company, the bond between them grows stronger although neither express exactly what it is they actually feel. It's just too soon and there will never be enough time to get there. So once the clock does stop ticking, the irony is that's exactly what they both regret the most. Strange isn't it? To purposely kill time only to wish one had it back? This resonates with those who've had such an experience while simultaneously drawing in those who haven't. It leaves one to ponder: Would it have been better if they never met?
The absolute brilliance of the movie was never being able to hear what he whispered to her in the end. But whatever it was, we do know they felt the same way - don't we?
