Ratings and reviews

I’m deeply in love with Gabriel Byrne. I’m in love with his beautiful deep blue eyes, his sweetness. His acting in this movie is a masterpiece. The amount of meaning he can convey without uttering a word is insane. Just by looking at you. Just a sigh is a beautiful piece, so well acted. It’s a movie about finding True Love totally unexpectedly and what you do once you’ve found it. I don’t like the ending, but again it’s an open one. So in my mind I’ve come up with an ending of my own, the only one way I can figure this pair ending up. I thank the cinematographic industry for making such intimate and realistic, vivid stories like this one. It’s actually something that could happen although it rarely does. If you’re a romantic, a believer in magic encounters, if you’re seeking that special one who hasn’t arrived yet, if you enjoy Gabriel Byrne’s intimate way of acting, unpretentious, yet gorgeous, then Just a Sigh is an absolute must see for you ♥️

Comme des hommes anciens élèves en vraies valeurs. Leurs vies ont fait de l'amour-propre passé et rien plus de l'inexécutable erectus d'âge. Quel ennuyeux pour nous.

A wonderful, warm movie. The aftertaste is bitter sweet. Watched it third time today. It makes me smile.
