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 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."
