I like this movie a lot. The acting was excellent, and the dialogue was spot on and realistic, not tritely on the nose expositional as so many films. The emotions were also beautifully conveyed by the actors with expressions and gestures as well. The scene where Adam's realization is made clear is heartbreaking, and the backward way in which the narrative unfolds is artfully accomplished. I just saw this in Europe, and can't understand why it did not receive a wider release here. The music, by Michael Small is truly beautiful, the acoustic guitar perfect for the emotions conveyed and the pastoral Berkshires locations. Definitely worth seeing.

If like me you often enjoy watching a movie just to see the artistry of the actors, then this is a movie to watch. No impressive action and effects, or a particularly original story. Just reality...and a sober, painful one at times. The actors/actresses dragged me into it without me noticing. Of course the fact that one of these artists happens to be one of the most beautiful women alive, makes it even more worth seeing! I had seen Clair Forlani previously in Joe black and was impressed by her beauty and charm, but in this movie she has more space and shows how deeper her acting can go and impressed me even more. I agree with one of the other comments on this movie: unless you are a action or adrenaline junkie, this film is definitely worth watching.

It's not that I would mind a good movie about relationships. But to be good it has to tell me something about human nature that I haven't seen or thought about. Or tells it to me in a fashion that shows an interesting twist or point of view about the subject; be it love or illness or death or friendship or what have you that moves humans. But this movie just has nothing to say about any of this, except that it does happen. Nowhere are we given any reason as to why people act the way they do. The characters are portrayed over a pretty long period of their lives, which take some quite big turns. Not only are we not given their motives for the paths they take, but it also seems that the characters themselves don't really reflect on what happens. It just does and did. That's life. Oh well, let's move on to the next scene.

For me, this bar scene is the most enjoyable moment of the movie. Otherwise be ready for 90 minutes of boring dialogs, sad locations, strange frames and an empty story. Even though all the cast is pretty good and the plot appealing (a drama of cheating between longtime friends), unfortunately, they are helpless to save the movie.What you see is actually characters talking about their past, with dialogs beginning with "Do you remember" or "Whats's going on". OK, the two friends are so closed since childhood that this past means a lot in their adult life. But, a movie is by nature visual, catching what happens in front of the camera. When there are only abusive close ups of endless speeches, you don't got anything. It would have been a better choice to shoot all those past stories instead of hearing them.In conclusion, movies have their rules. Don't apply them and the audience will leave.
