Simon: [on answering machine] Rachel, hi, it's it's Simon. Um, I don't know how long you've got this flat for, but it's nice, so it's okay. I know you don't want to, but we've really got to talk about our house, and fix the price. I've tried calling you at work. Please ring back.

Goofs
At 8:34 when Rachel takes the latex gloves out of her pocket and puts them on her hands to give Philip a dental exam, she should not have done that because the latex gloves are no longer sterile after being in her pocket, she should have got a fresh pair of gloves from the box as those are sterile.

This movie's premise-a prisoner and outsider falling in love- may normally turn many people off. Surprisingly, is well-scripted, wonderfully filmed (some of the best camera shots and angles I've ever seen, and exceptionally well-performed. Julia Ormond, who I normally don't much care for, was wonderful. Tim Roth, as usual, blew me away. It remains one of the few movies I can watch repeatedly.
