You won't be disappointed!
Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
This movie was way over the top, mostly dealing with the cancer, it was just unrealistic portrayal of a women with caner. Then the constant going back and forth and the screen saying what year it was. I don't appreciate watching Silvia collapse every five minutes from the brain cancer, i mean in real life people don't constantly collapse i've never seen a cancer patient ever do that, and they have her shaking vigorously like a vibrator, its so disturbing seeing this. People don't melodramatically do that in real life, and her death clichéd, shes talking and then dies, like love story ugh. 1/10 stars, and Marissa Tomei wasn't all that great in it either.
This movie really took me by surprise since I knew nothing about it when I found it on TV. The plot is really good, the script is good and the characters are all lovable and enjoyable, thanks to the actors that play them. There is nothing really complicated in it; the director doesn't get lost in what would seem a complicated situation, he makes it seem simple and real. Even if the story is told in flashback, you never get lost, as it happens with other movies which use the same element to tell a story. And the performances are very powerful without being overacted. In the end, even though one of the people in the love triangle dies, you are not left with a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction for it because her significant other has found a new love. To be honest, I wish all romantic movies were like this!
My wife and I watched the film over two nights and wish it had been cut by an hour or so. The padding that is too often part of made-for-TV movies was all too obvious and, by the end, we were getting very tired of Sylvia's clinging and the 'meaningful' looks. The film belongs to Marisa Tomei and, to a lesser extent to Rob Morrow who create engaging characters who save the film from its plot excesses. We had only seen Tomei once previously, in 'My Cousin Vinny'. We recognize that many found her work in that movie very funny, but we thought her character was annoying at best. Her portrayal of Evie in 'Only Love' is refreshing. Honorable Mentions to Paul Freeman (who we know from 'Monarch of the Glen')and Jeroen Krabbé ('Prince of Tides' and 'The Fugitive') who salvaged characters who would have been hopelessly stereotypical in lesser hands.
This movie touched my heart and made me want to immediately see it over and over again. Rob Morrow gives a wonderfully compassionate touch to this love story that leaves you breathless. I can't wait to see it again! As I stepped into the journey of this love story I was swept away by the scenes from Africa, Europe, and New York! The movie had me continuously guessing and falling in love with the characters over and over again. Rob Morrow gave a breath taking romantic portrayal of a man every woman dreams about! I have now watched it over and over again and still have the same reaction to the movie and never get tired of seeing this love story. Everyone couple should see this love story! I am looking forward to seeing it again soon!
