I found this to be a moving and beautifully crafted story. There aren't enough movies about what happens when grownups fall in love. For anyone who's bored with the treacly boy-meets-girl of romantic comedies, where the hero and heroine overcome silly obstacles to find their way to love, I think you'll find this a welcome change, with characters you respect and a story that draws you in with its realism. The performances are spectacular, the filming beautiful.

There are certain movies that I enjoyed very much and will remember for a long time. This movie is one of them.

Clint should turn in his man card for making this movie. Not a movie for his real fans.
