Not perfect but contains perfection

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2005)

The love story in this movie touched me like very few movies have. Ms. Howard's and Mr. Phoenix's actions and emotions made this movie worthwhile for me. Yes, if you ponder deeply the actions of the elders you could be upset with this movie. But for me I keep bits and pieces from movies. The warmth the love story in this movie gave me was what I'll keep. Yes, I thought about things like "what would happen if a plane flew overhead". Or "how cruel to have your children scared of something that doesn't exist". But come on, this movie told a story. A good and imaginable story. If you put yourself in Ivy's shoes and face what she does how can you not admire her and her heart. Almost a day after watching the movie for the second time I'm still warm. If only we all could love like that.
