Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2005)

Surprised at how engulfed I became in this movie. While I am not inclined towards such movies occasionally why not? I think as of to date I have watched 8 or so many times now, beautiful yet classic movie. That's what was nice, although not to cliché's in a cheesy way, it was a beautiful story that was well worth watching through without a moment of boredom. Though I understand the need for the parts with James Garner and Gena Rowlands as it relates to the movie, it would have been better if it were scaled back towards the last portion of the movie. I think it would've served better I think for the climax of the film, but that's my opinion. As a guy I was blown away at how this movie hooked me in and kept me till the end when this isn't my preferred theme solely in a movie. The lead actors/characters were brilliant simply brilliant. Both of these young actors impressed me greatly although I had seen Ryan Gosling in "Murder by Numbers" and was impressed by him in that, though he was playing a completely different character, his intensity was equally stirring and memorable if not more so in this film. Rachel McAdams was captivating, I loved her portrayal of this character. Her feistiness was amazing, great job, but equally more important was her ability to portray this time period as woman was beautiful and very believable. Her intellect, as well as being tied into the upper crust of society was portrayed well especially in the middle parts of the movie, yet to commit herself into this wonderful relationship, that was all about the love and how it never left her was portrayed in the most authentic way, simply beautiful. Where else to go I don't know other then to say wonderful story, great actors, beautiful movie, and seeing is believing. This movie is in my top 10 all time films to date, and the best film I've seen in a long time, so check it out....
