It is a love story, perhaps a good one, but bad directing and organization destroys the story. Almost every other scene is a flashback and the poor viewer has no reference marks. Tough to know at what time in the story the scene was shot. Because of its disorganization, it would not be surprising that every viewer has a different version of what the story is. Frankly, I do not know how the movie ended, it was so confusing.
I was motivated to watch the movie because of Jennifer Connelly. She is a captivating beauty who has always come across as a lovable person. But she turns ugly in this movie. At the most inappropriate time, she becomes vulgar. it doesn't fit her character and in real life, it is doubtful that anyone would launch into a vulgar tirade as she did against a reporter at a formal function. Neither was it natural for Billy Crudup to spew forth vulgarities during family dinner at a restaurant. People do not use the f word in front of their mothers, especially when one considers how close Crudup was to his family.
