This is a maudlin movie. You know the sort of diminished sentimentality that you find most often in American chick-flicks.

However, I still enjoyed it!

It is a wonderful watch if you like to enjoy the journey. Music, if you like the tunes used, fill the gaps - literally intermezzos. And colour or the lack of it is used to emphasise the emotional condition of the main character. Nicely done.

Avoid this if you like "truth" movies that draw you along with the storyline or the characters. This movie is a contrived "falsity": you cannot engage in the first half because it is too hidden and the second-half is a bit convenient. Perhaps that's why 'D F Stuckey' (see review below) sees a "glaring problem" that does not exist as this is not a movie about a tax man. Maybe D F Stuckey didn't watch the last 15 minutes or got that impression from the trailer!?
