    Great performances

    This is a simple story told well. It does have its flaws like the slow start but it is its simplicity which makes this film work. The film grows on you and it soon finds its rhythm about halfway through. It is certainly an interesting film and I can see the appeal but it is definitely a film that will take some getting used to, so I'm not sure it will be for everybody. If there was one thing I can say about this film is the good acting from Phoenix, Crudup, Connelly and Tyler. They all seem to hold their roles together very well.
