An unusual story about a strong woman, beautifully and credibly told and played., 9 January 2002
9/10
Author: marly kagie from Netherlands

The story is unusual, even nowadays. But the way in which it is revealed and is performed is very natural and credible. This is rarely seen in movies. At the ratings of this movie, one can see that women like this movie much more than men. This is proof that the woman in the story is genuinely strong. She loves two men, but loves them truly; only in true love this is possible. It is astonishing how easily one can take this as a fact in this movie. I seldom say such an extraordinary and beautiful movie. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to reflect on relations, love, honesty and courage. The three actors (Reeves, Hinds and MacCann) are outstanding, and so is Malahide.
