10/10
heartfelt, compelling, wonderful
25 September 2002
This is the best movie so far of 2002. A very realistic view of what it's like after someone close to you dies, but also filled with humor and a good love story. It's not the downer of a movie you might expect, though it does contain serious drama and scenes of grief. The cast is amazing, and several Oscar nominations should be in store. Newcomer Ellen Pompeo is beautiful and like a breath of fresh air in this movie. It is also a really well-made film, with heartfelt writing that respects the characters and the audience, and visual storytelling that uses pictures more than words to express emotion. I was really impressed.
