Ratings and reviews

This story takes its time and nearly lost me a couple of times but it is worth staying to the end. The ending is very moving and profound. I thought the dancing in complete abandon thang had been done well and truly but the dancing in a CROWD in complete abandon was uplifting and I just wish more people would do it! Think it might be very hard to act out the emotions of a guilty, conflicted widower so I am prepared to cut some slack here and read the book to see if the character is better explained.

Really draws you in and alot of emotion transpires. Has meaningful depth and humour along the way. Glad i went with my gut and trusted the google reviews! I thought the storyline has alot going on, first time that i don't understand why the rotten tomatoes score was so low. I really liked donnie darko too - while completely different story, i think it was as good or better then donnie darko

I don't understand how so many people have given this movie a good review so far. It is so slow and boring. Im usually not too critical of movies and im pretty easily pleased but this was not good.
