Quote:
"There is great potential for torrential sentiment in this material, but it's to the movie's credit, not to mention that of the impeccable lead performances and [Sarah] Polley's smartly adapted script, that it's kept tightly capped. Not that the emotional force isn't there, it is: in the way Grant looks at Fiona as she drifts away from him, and it's in every moment that indicates a shared memory either utterly forgotten or suddenly retrieved."
