    Chemistry saves the day
    I agree with the previous commentary that there is an excellent director at work in this film, and that the script can be rather thin at times. However, the chemistry between Bruce Greenwood and Emilia Fox save the movie. The ups and downs they face have some similar correlation to the problems we all face in real life, although there are times when one wonders about their strange situations. Still, both actors have created full, living and breathing characters for us to enjoy and, while at times we wonder why the story heads in a certain direction, we are still captivated by the relationship these two actors have created for the screen.

    In my youth I was never a fan of Canadian productions. Films like this keep changing my mind and deserve all the support we can give it.

    Get your lover, a bottle of your favourite wine and enjoy; it's worth it.
