This was an exceptional movie that explores the depth of human emotions. It brought Colin Farrel out of his element and showed audiences how diverse of an actor he could be.

I thought the movie was beautiful. Love, pain, loyalty, friendship, death, seperation, life, friendship.

The story, the acting the movie is beautiful and heartfelt. It was one of my favorites this year. A story of love undconditional without conventional boundries, it was and inspirational film about the human spirit... see this movie!

With Sissy Spacek and Robin Wright you'd expect better but there is too much squeezed into a small space and all of the charactor development is sacrificed. Their actions are often inscrutable and confusing. Anachronisms are so rampant that a sense of chronology - critical to this story - is lost. If you are young you may not notice, but to those who lived thru these times I couldn't even spot the decade. Really was hoping for the best but by half way thru it became MST dialogue time for us. My wife loved the book, so she was even more disappointed.… Expand

An interesting movie about a gay man, a bisexual man and a likeable woman and their intertwined relationship. Colin Farrell was dripping Irish testosterone as usual and is very likeable in this movie. You have to give this man credit. He can't really be type cast and is a very accomplished actor. He seems to tackle just about any roll that he undertakes.

Slow paced, but worthwhile. I've not seen Colin Farrell in many movies, but sense he is not just another pretty face-nor just a fresh punk actor. This is a girlie-man movie that worked for me. It probably won't be made into an X-box game. Shucks.

Unlike the novel, this screen play is weak and missing the subconscious insight of each character.

The movies message was that families can come in all shapes and sizes -and sexual preferences- a plea for tolerance-the acting is good-it got a bit too warm and fuzzy at the end.

A very touching and moving film. Colin Farrell did an outstanding job; his character, though not unflawed, saw the best in people. There was an innocence about him. My favorite seen is when Colin's character, Bobby, consoles Jonathan, played by Dallas Roberts, about his "bruise" (scene 21 on disc). Very believable; they have a great connection which started at a young age that some others could only wish they have.… Expand

Lousy, certainly not one of the more entertaining, or enthralling films I have seen lately.

A waste of some good actors time and energies. A movie about some trivial people trying to make itself moving and important.
