In New York, Elizabeth (Norah Jones) has a broken heart when her boyfriend leaves her without saying goodbye. She stops by the diner of Jeremy (Jude Law) seeking out her lover, leaves his keys with Jeremy and ends the night having a conversation with him and eating a thrown away piece of blueberry pie. She arrives in the place for the next late nights and they become close, with Lizzy eating a piece of blueberry pie, until the day she drinks too much, has a blackout and is kissed by Jeremy. On the next day, she takes a bus to Memphis, Tennessee, and gets two jobs, working as waitress in the morning in a diner and as a bartender during the night in a bar and saving money to buy a car. Lizzy sends postcards to Jeremy without her address and she befriends Officer Arnie Copeland (David Strathairn), who spends the nights drinking missing his wife Sue Lynne (Rachel Weisz) that left him. Later she moves to Ely, Nevada, workings as waitress in a casino, where she meets the gambler Leslie (Natalie Portman). When Leslie loses a poker game, they travel together to Las Vegas to visit Leslie's father. Then she return to New York, where she meets Jeremy again.
This classy and melancholic romance has a sweet story, great direction and performances, wonderful music score and a stunning cinematography. I was not familiarized with the wonderful voice of Norah Jones and her debut as actress is magnificent, showing a perfect chemistry with Jude Law. The excellent David Strathairn and Rachel Weisz have awesome performances in very dramatic roles, and the magnificent Natalie Portman has a different appearance with her vulgar character. My vote is seven.
