A good friend of mine was very excited about this movie. He couldn't wait for the movie to come out, because he loved the movie "My life without me" so much (I like the movie too, although he simply adores it), so we went and watched it together. Afterwards (or a few days later) he also got to see the director in a café in Berlin (can't confirm if he proposed to her (popped the question or whatever you wanna call it) ...
Seriously though, this movie is a slow paced drama, pacing wise not unlike "My life without me" and has also as a story thread the idea of loss. But it's far from a rehash or something like that. This is a complete new film, with a very good Ben Kingsley and a great Penelope Cruz. Even Dennis Hopper is at his best, reminding us that he can actually act (also reminding us what a waste of talent many of his movies are/were). But this relationship drama revolves around a few basic questions, some that even you might ask yourself from time to time ... don't expect it to give you definite answers though!
