Rating: - THE RAWEST OF FEELINGS
THIS MOVIE WHICH I JUST HAPPEN TO HEAR ABOUT ON A SHOW. WOW, IT HAD SUCH POWER AND LITTLE VIOLENCE. IT HAD SO MUCH COMPASSION AND LOVE WITHOUT THE SEXUAL CONTENT. IT WAS A MOVIE FOR AND ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE. A WOMENS DISTASTE FOR ANOTHER MAN, HER HUSBANDS BESTFRIEND AND HOW THAT FRIENDSHIP TURNS IT'S SELF AROUND SLOWLY. EACH PERSON CARRIED A CHARACTOR THAT YOU LIKED. TAKE A NIGHT AND ENJOY THIS EMOTIONAL BUT MEANINGFUL MOVIE.
Rating: - Unexpected
This movie is unexpected, offering complex characters struggling with basic human emotions. The characters long for acceptance while desperately seeking their autonomy. The movie takes you places you don't expect, provokes feelings you don't expect, and leads you a place of resolution. This is a great film to watch and have a discussion follow. It is the kind of movie that you can watch several times and glean new perspectives and insights. You may find yourself reflecting on your own journey....It isn't until the end when you learn the meaning of the title.
Rating: - Very good...
The best things about this movie is that the leads NEVER get together.
Moving and powerful.
Rating: - I enjoyed it.
A really heart warming film.I think Halle was really sweet in this.Benicio del toro preformance was great!
Rating: - At least the young kids are watchable.
That's who I'm giving the two stars to--the young actor and actress playing the children of Halle Berry and David Duchovny.
The rest of the film is deficient in many ways:
1. Berry plays a mean, crazy beeyotch of a widow who wasn't all that nice to her ex-husband and is of two minds when it comes to dealing with his best friend, the heroin addict played by Benicio Del Toro. Berry is always "on"; everything is life and death; she does not know how to play a character with subtlety or nuance. Also, she calls her husband abusive for no good reason, then tells his friend she's angry with him for helping their son get his head under water in the pool--which is what her husband had tried to do, and for that she called him abusive! It makes no sense.
2. Multiple close-ups of actors' eyes are neither necessary nor impressive.
3. Duchovny is wasted in his tiny role as the murdered husband.
4. Too many characters repeat the same lines several times. Dumb script/dialogue.
5. Nothing much comes of the potential romance or other connection between del Toro and Berry.
