This was a gorgeous movie. Very interesting; very moving. Hard to watch in places. It definitely wasn't Shelter, although it has similar themes. I enjoyed it very much, although it wasn't one of my go to 'feel good' movies.

Oops, somewhere it's still worktime! I post in the night, at home, so without thinking I thought that it's the same for others... Silly me! Elisa

I added this movie to my zip list in the summer (an internet movie rental company). I like the sounds of the movie even though [livejournal.com profile] abstractrx makes it seem a little sad.

I understand that some people may want the pics under the lj cut but it's that lovely pic of the boys in bed that caught my eye.

I just finished to see a sad movie :-( (you will know what soon)... sometime, even if they are sad, I like to see them anyway. Elisa

I always try to post without lj cut only image that are "warm" not "hot". This one in particular I found very sweet and romantic. Elisa

I saw it two days ago finally. I like it a lot, even if it's a bit sad. And very difficult for me since the Australian accent is not so simple for me to understand. Elisa
