A rare and unique love story, one of the best of the decade

We see romance flicks so often today that sometimes we don't bother to look for the underlining layers that define them, bad romances just use cheap sex scenes and sexual dialog(which is sometimes necessary.But not all the time.)to past the time so that you won't be lost in the horrible script and bad acting.

A Visual Feast for a Time Travel Love Story

Anytime a story is about time travel the audience must accept the fact that suspension of belief is mandatory. Based on a Korean film 'Siworae' by Eun-Jeong Kim and Ji-na Yeo and adapted for the latest version by David Auburn, Alejandro Agresti has his work cut out for him. The story is Swiss cheese full of holes as anyone would expect from a tale about two people who fall in love from the disparate vantages of 2004 and 2006 and as long as the viewer accepts the inherent incongruities of such a … more
