Gerald DiPego

This is a beautifully made film, with excellent supporting role of the hero's father by Paul Newman. There's great chemistry between the two principal actors, dramatic tension as one of them fails to reveal the reason why she met the other, and some light-hearted moments as well as a great deal of poignancy.

It's about moving on, and learning to live with the past - and yet the film doesn't make the mistake of turning into a happy-ever-after story. Perhaps that couldn't have worked, given the hero's background. Instead the ending is both shocking and bittersweet, leaving us with a lot to discuss and think about.

A few deleted or extended scenes are the only 'extras' to this DVD.

Very highly recommended to adults and older teens.
