Though this movie drags in a lot of places only to shower you with bursts of emotional confusion seconds later, it just haunts me so much in the end (“If I go back to the beginning, I could start it over again. I could go line by line; try and find a shorter way. I could try to make it… better,”) and has a lot of moments that get to my heart and soul like only my deeply personal favourites can. Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins are fantastic, Jake Gyllenhaal is definitely growing on me bigtime since I saw Moonlight Mile, and I love Stephen Warbeck’s score. Hope Davis is really good as Paltrow’s sister, too, providing almost tragically comic contrast to the predominantly geeky nature of the main characters.
