MUST SEE! This is one of those rare experiences, rare times, when art can make you a better person, when you fall in love and are forever changed. This film is now part of the fabric of me. Cinematography is like spending one's day among Rembrandts and Vermeers. Acting is pitch perfect. Directing is seemingly effortless and impeccable. Story is as moving as a symphony. Now my favorite movie, A mix of Tolstoy and Chekhov!

I agree with Susan, it's a superb, bittersweet love story and drama. Also tells me, even though you can't have your love reciprocated, still to do the RIGHT thing, and NOT harbor hate.

This movie feels more of a courthouse drama than just a traditional drama. What A Law and Order ripoff.
