I saw this at the Italian Film Festival in Los Angeles last night and couldn't believe this got play at an international fest. It's a completely homogenized, crowd pleasing vehicle. It equates putting montage images to music with character development and has all the spirit of a Lifetime Channel movie. There are moments where it actually manages to find some truth and wit, but that's quickly shattered as it races to meet every stereotypical story beat it can manage, stuffing the movie with artifice like an over-cooked turkey. Great performances are lost on it. Telling and powerful ideas about personal growth and how and why we relate to each other are fodder for placid storytelling. And I swear to god, if I have to see one more slow camera pull out from a forlorn introspective character while melancholy American pop-music swells on the soundtrack, I will physically vomit. A film so desperate to be soulful it's soulless.

Sometimes it is so hard to tell people we love "I am glad you are here", and worst of all when we realize it is too late to tell, it is really too late. This story turning around this important feeling, the importance to learn that everyone needs someone else, we cannot live alone. I am Italian, I saw this movie yesterday at the Los-Angeles-Italia festival, I think it is not directed to all people but only to the ones that are open with their mind and mostly with their heart, this is because the actors are really great in bringing the viewer inside their characters and the viewer feels their pain, their love, and none, in this days, wants to suffer anymore for a story of love. A great movie, for me, I would there will be more like this one.
