It is hard not to like Shriver and indeed all the delicate characters in this fine film. Shannon plays great - but so does everyone else.. Right from the start, you are curious, and that creates hope for a happy ending, and this hope never lets go. The film is full of small delicious details that perhaps could have been left out, but they provide the nuance that makes this little film light, delicious, deep and unique. I don't think I've ever seen a movie like this, and doubt it will happen again - anytime soon. I'm already looking forward to watching it again, and I expect it to open up more little angles - and if it doesn't, I'll just enjoy it for what it is.. again.
Oh what a lovely film it was!
