Helena Bonham Carter + Aaron Eckhart = LOVE!
This movie is just mind-blowingly awe-inspiringly brilliant!

I loved it!

STORY: 6/7
The Man and The Woman (they don't have names) meet at a wedding. It is the man's sister's wedding, and the woman is an emergency replacement bridesmaid (must make you feel loved.) They get talking, and start a bit of an affair going. While they chat they both reminisce on their pasts and find that they have some things in common.

ACTING: 6/7
Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Eckhart (as if that isn't enough already) play off of each other brilliantly. Helena seems effortless in her character and Eckhart is definitely carrying years on his shoulders, his character is full of a playful self loathing.

CINE / VISUAL EFFECTS: 6/7
Split screening! Nothing can possibly show the distance between two characters like seperating them completely, even when they're right next to each other.

SCORE / SOUND: 5/7
Lovely little soundtrack full of cute and sad songs.

SONGS: N/A

OVERALL: 6/7
