LOVED it! This is a move that caught me off-guard because I had only seen the trailer and thought, "Why not watch it?" I was totally surprised by how quickly it drew me in and captured my interest. The storyline takes you on a fascinating journey that unfolds; intertwining the lives of the characters who are all connected to one character, who has recently died. This story has so many rich and surprising layers. And the acting is superb. I've always enjoyed Richard Gere, however, this movie made me respect and admire his talent all the more. It's all in his eyes. He is brilliant in this role. And the ending is so touching. I wept. Please don't listen to the negative reviews. See this film for yourself, and then decide for yourself.
