Understated.

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2007)

When I decided against watching Atonement again and for this movie I bought myself a coffee in case I needed it to keep me from wasting my money but when the film started I did not resort to it at all, instead I found myself needing it to restore body fluid lost as a result of the flawless storyline. The start of the film really captured the picture of this madly in-love married couple. It reflected how people can be at each other's throats but really, they just want to do whatever it takes to make each other happy. The flashbacks of Gerry and Holly's relationship made the viewer realise that their love was extraordinary and felt the pang of heartache for her loss. Swank's performance was exceptional, in fact all the actors contributed to the heart wrenching and warming moments of the movie except maybe Jefferey Dean Morgan's. Hmmm. I think it was his flawed accent that ruined his performance. I think the trailer under states the film and if you're looking for a good cry. Watch it. I did... 3 times. Oh yeah and its heaps better than Atonement. The love in Atonement seemed not as genuine as PS' and seemed just a bit exaggerated.
