Well. I never expect anything less than a great story, well told with intrigue and passion from the gentleman who directed "The Cider House Rules" and this story is no different. Well it's got different characters.. but as a wise young medical student once observed about her future patients and colleagues "wherever you go.. it normally turns out that the people are human beings.
This story and people's relience and ability to adapt to challenges and stresses to create new relationships out of lost family members and new oportunities show through is every aspect of this well crafted film - with a few surprises to catch you out.. right up to the very end frames.
Watch it a second time.. in case you missed something the first time around.. and if you didn't watch "The Cider Hoiuse Rules" for a second dose of Lasse Halstrom's golden medicine.. It's full on an even wider variety of human beans !
