This film moved me

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2010)

This film moved me. It has so much feeling it pulls you in and does not let go. As soon as I watched it I started it again. I am actually pretty critical about films and do not give high marks easily. Love, pain, romance, passion, fear. It is raw emotion and need on film. Kate Winslet is wonderful and she is not shy to play the role of a mature woman. David Kross is fascinating to watch transform from boy to man. Ralph Fiennes...what can I say...he blew me away! Some people may not like the idea of a younger boy and and older woman relationship, but I think that in such times and circumstances humans seek others like moths seek a flame. It is a times warm and funny and gut wrenching and sad. It is a lesson in human nature. Once you start it you will not be able to shut it off.
