| | michael ball 02/07/2007 | | Almost unknown this love story fantasy deserves to be rated among the best to come out of America. All performances are a credit to the author. Rarely if ever will you see a script with such a sincere meaning of the word 'Hello'. The film score enhances the tale as all great films do. |
