I was disappointed in this movie. I love Hilary Swank and she was good, it was the story I had issues with. It seemed it was just snipits from here and there without any coheavsive connection.

I enjoyed the movie, although I already knew most of the story. It was interesting, but did move a bit slowly.

I totally enjoyed this movie of her life and love, she was great in it and I love Richard Gere in romance movies. Hooray for this one although it had a sad ending.
