This was the worst piece of [bs]

that I have seen in a long time. Horrible writing, directing, editing and acting. If I was paid to see it I would have felt ripped off! Save yourself.

Hmmm...interesting! The version of the movie that I saw had an almost flawless script, beautiful performances and the direction, editing and use of music were all astounding.

In a sea of adolescent multiplex fodder, here's an intelligent drama for and about adults. It explores a few of the dilemmas inherent in relating to a significant other in the search for true love. It felt real and the ending especially was both powerful and extremely moving.

Is it perfect? No - but it's about as close as I've seen all year. Bravo, Ben Younger! After this and 'Boiler Room', you have established yourself as an extremely intelligent and astute writer/director.
