I had to write something about this movie. The average score doesn't reflect the true standard of the film. That's how I feel. The beauty of this film lies in its simplicity. The actors' performances were simple, cosy and intimate. Anne Hathaway is a breath of fresh air. Having her in the cast was certainly the masterstroke from the director. She fits that role to perfection. It is not a fast paced drama, nor a deep psychological warfare with your neurons but it is a bumpy emotional ride. The story would probably suit a book better than a film because it would be easier to describe the turmoil inside each character's head, and this is where Hathaway's character come in handy to try to extract those feelings from her patients for us to understand. These types of films were a bit more popular in the 90's, and it is perhaps with an air of nostalgia that I have watched another well written light hearted drama. Buy the DVD on sale - it would be well worth the watch.
