I would say I don't understand the low rating, but I do. Many people want a predictable boy meets girl falls in love movie. This is not that and that's is refreshing! The off the beaten path storyline is what makes this movie a winner to me. If you want a unique story with an unpredictable ending then this movie is for you. Life is not a story book fairy tale. Real life doesn't always work that way and this movie captures that in the main character's conflicting relationships, feelings of false guilt and despair after a devastating loss, followed by a glimmer of hope and purpose chance meeting that.
