Bruce C.

Complex characters with a myriad of issues, yet at its core the film is simply about love. Outstanding and believable performances and a story line that has spurred more thought since watching the film than during the film.

Rich G.

I enjoyed it. Being an older guy dating a younger girl (not as young as her) , I very much understood his fear of her. The movie was much richer than I expected.

Marilyn M.

What a tragic movie. What great acting. Glad I saw it, but very depressing. Improbable couple, who knows what the mutual attractions were, unless you were one of them. Being a cheerful person, I SO wanted a happy ending. Wonderful acting - award work.
