Great Feel Good Movie... Great Cinematography

I am not one for watching a bunch or "Romantic" Movies, however because of the strong lead actors, i gave this movie a shot.

If you are someone who enjoys great cinematography, as well as an intelligent film made for a more mature audience, you will enjoy this movie. This film is filled with perfect lighting and camera angles throughout the entirety of the movie, which greatly help the viewers grasp the emotions of the story.

Blind is very good at keeping the viewer interested through the duration of the film.. My only gripe with this movie is that it is predictable in the sense that most Romantic movies end the same, however in this case they pulled it off very well.
