A bit underrated movie..

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2005)

Here is a masterpiece of romantic dramas. The climax reminds me of Roman Holiday and rarely do we find such movies. Differs significantly from the usual romantic movies which have a predictable ending. I wonder why this movie did not win an Oscar. Scarlett Johansson showed some serious talent for powerful roles and was just brilliant in some scenes. Just the first scene was quite strange. I wonder what the director was thinking. The story is subtle and quite powerful and essentially very close to what could have happened in reality. Thats really the high point as most stories would have got quite unrealistic with the story line.
