| User ReviewBrent MIts one of the emotional rollercoaster movies. good if you dont mind crying a bit. |
| User ReviewJohn HBeautiful and touching, though the ending is a tad sudden, I always felt there should have been just 5 mins more! |
| User ReviewGlen SGood, but not great. First time director; time shifting point of view that is hard to follow; poor sound; some good moments. To read the "plot" click on the picture. |
| User ReviewBrad GThat green shirt keeps showing up. Difficult to follow the time jumps sometimes |
| User ReviewDavid SOverlooking the obvious poor sound quality, the storyline was quite good. The acting was not over the top, but flowed quite naturally. The story, jumping from time to time was a bit hard to follow, but overall i'd advise folks to give this one a shot. |
| User ReviewAndrew MA video store clerk recommended this to me years ago, telling me how powerful and touching it was. I thought it distinctly below average, and kinda tripe. I guess I'm just a callous bitch. It really felt like a rip-off of Longtime Companion (which was MUCH better). |
| User ReviewRicardo HMOMENTS OF BRILLIANCE... but overall not that good of a movie. It's simply a generic love story with the illness of one of the partners, infidelity, and maybe the originality of seeing a shirt that seems to defy the passing of time and numerous washes. The story could have been about a straight couple and it would still have been just an average movie. Not a bad movie, just nothing special. |
