2.5/4
A forgettable film. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Nov 16, 2012
2.5/5
It's terribly long and repetitive for so delicately dreamy a diptych, and at times the modern-day story feels like little more than a drawn-out apologia for the wandering male gaze. Go to Full Review

1.5/4

Abraham S Apr 13, 2019 One of the best real life love stories of our era. No dripping cheesy romance, but the true meaning of love peppered with esterism. See more
Rey P Nov 16, 2018 You definitely need to watch this incredible film more than once to understand it.
Kylo W Oct 3, 2011 Jean Marc V lovely film. It takes more than one viewing to savor this film. But I am a huge Vanessa Paradise fan, so several viewings were a treat for me. See more
