There is something about this movie that is so captivating and so
beautiful and so very truly genuinely moving that no matter how
many times I watch it, last night in particular, I am left speechless
and struck by the beauty of its simple story, the directness of its
message, and the sagacity and nuanced scenes between Roberts and Gere. Many might see this movie as frivolous fluff,
but there are some very deeply psychological scenes in here,
brilliantly portrayed by a gorgeous and talented Roberts (who,
throughout her career, does play only variations of this one
character- but hey, what an amazing character)- namely, the
scenes in the dimly lighted hotel dining room when Gere and
Roberts attempt to make out. See this movie if you want a great
story that cuts to the meaning of relationships, kindness, self- improvement and love as transcending all societal boundaries
and taboos. Highly recommended.
