I give this movie five stars because it held my attention. However, I held back the additional five stars because the main character made so many unnecessary, bad decisions that I wanted to scream at him to just stop. The first bad decision was not calling the police when he found her with the dogs. Then he was dumb enough to take her to his apartment, WHAT? I wanted to stop watching at that point, but I kept watching. Maybe that was a bad decision on my part.
... View MoreI am at a lost for words. Any word that I utter will not describe this movie. It was brilliant. It was heart felt. The movie had every emotion in it that one could describe. It was: dramatic, funny, adventurous, suspenseful, and made you want to watch more. I could watch this movie over and over again. The writer, director, actors and all of those who were involved in the making of this move should be commended. Am Oscar will not do this film any justice. It deserves so much more. This movie is a must see.

Even though the genre is drama, the story has a very nice flow that doesn't let the audience look away even for a moment. And most of the credit should go to the actors, specially the two leading actor and actress. Great work.
... View MoreI am genuinely surprised by the negative/indifferent reviews of this film. I found the story line original and well- paced. The performances by the two leads were exceptional, entirely plausible and soulful. Whilst I have seen criticism for the lack of character depth, it must be said that the movie's length did not allow for this. In any case, I think that it is not difficult for the audience to grasp both characters' 'back stories' and identify with the innocence of their mutual affection; the male lead having been incarcerated most of his adult life and the female lead seeing him as her saviour. A warm, well-acted film with an "oh no!!!!" moment at the end.I do hesitate to label anything a 'chick flick' but I anticipate the story line may appeal to a more sensitive audience.
