Connecting when disconnected

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2005)

As many others had, I first heard of this exquisite gem of a movie at the time of the Academy Awards. I liked it for the same reason that I thoroughly enjoyed Richard Linklater's more recent "Before Sunset". It is cinematic ally rich. It is endearing and engaging. Bill Murray continues to show his improved dramatic talent, with comedic touches; Scarlett shines throughout. Any man or woman who has found themselves "alone" in a strange city will identify with the situation depicted. WARNING: single heterosexual men, do not watch this movie with your girlfriend or (even worse) fiancÃ©e. Married men, do not watch this with your wife. Trust me ... and disregard this warning at your own peril!
