4 1/2 stars
Director: Nick Casavetes
Probably one of the best non-comedy romance films I have ever seen, both in narrative and in cinematography. Yet still one of the very few films to manage to pull tears from my eyes (no I am not gay). I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
In short, this film is about two lovers who went through many trials but in the end their love still found them a way to be together. What I like most about the narrative of this film, is that it skips the commonly used method of love story telling and the obvious parts to get right down to the nitty-gritty, the details. Technically, this film is not about the suspense, as it makes its plot pretty obvious. It is also not really about the whole romantic story, as it skips huge chunks of the story. What it is about, is the way that couples deal with Alzheimer's and how it affects love.
The ending was about how love really does create miracles. And the last scene showed that they flew away as birds, as mentioned earlier within the film.
