Enthralling from start to finish

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2006)

When one is still running the details of a movie through ones head two weeks after leaving the theatre, that says a lot. Most of what one sees in movie theatres is instantly forgettable. Settings, scenery and cinematography are all excellent. Norton's performance is worthy of an Oscar, as is the film itself. Once in a while, a romance appears without much fanfare and captures the imagination of the viewers. "Marty" did it in a different era. This movie certainly left an indelible impression on me. There are no weak performances, though Norton himself stand out and carries the film. The illusions created throughout the story add greatly to the entertainment value. This is a movie to add to my collection the day that the DVD is released.
