User Review:
With a cast like this it is amazing that one actor is particularly strong and that her unique genius stands out from the others. Arguably the greatest actor working in cinema today, Emily Watson shines as a super nova when she appears as the "older" woman the young student had once been involved with. Straight-laced and reserved, Watson sets the screen on fire with a simmering sexuality much like that she displayed so brilliantly in Gosford Park. It is subtle and smoldering but one senses it could explode like napalm at any moment. The young man seems to be clueless and never realizes what he once had. However, the audience sees it clearly and it is this part of the film that rivets attention more than any other. As an actor, Watson is a undeniably a acting powerhouse and it is her presence in this small film that will capture the notice of worldwide audiences. While the motion picture is rather weak and misses the mark it could have easily hit, Emily Watson knocks it out of the park as usual and the brilliance of her performance sheds its light on the other cast members, especially Brody, an actor that hopefully has benefited from working with such an esteemed and respected genius as Ms. Emily Watson.
