Steve C @RT19610513 May 18 I was expecting something like Mr. Baseball, but reversed genders. The real drama happens two-thirds in. Don't dive into unknown waters. See more Alain E @AlainE Oct 9 I am glad I watched this knowing nothing and so what happens was totally unexpected. If we want to assign a deeper meaning we can say that life takes unexpected turns. Enjoy the present! It is well acted and photographed. Personally I thought the use of Japanese music was gimmicky. The main character is played by Collette and she would not have referenced music from a foreign country. Similarly, the voice over at the very end with the male character writing kind of a goodbye letter appears out of nowhere.

I did not expect that it would affect me even more strongly watching it again so many years later. Toni Colette gives a career best performance. The story was so simple and yet so rich. I now consider this to be a personal favorite. So much deeper than the simple story suggests. Bring Kleenex. See more Sandra H @RT58700406 10/04/2024 I love this movie.
