Loved this movie and have seen it about 5 times. I rarely watch a movie more than once. Everything about it was so realistic, right down to the dialogue. I couldn't find any flaws, things that stand out that should have been stricken or written in a different way. That's the mark of a truly great movie. I love the way the renewed romance starts just by chance when the main characters happen to be in the same bar and Alec's wife couldn't come along. It's not like he was in the bar hoping to rekindle things with his ex-wife. That just happened. Beautifully written and acted, especially by Streep. All of the little nuances she throws in are just so natural to a brilliant actress. Baldwin was excellent also. But the writing and directing was superb.
