Beautiful story about a woman who wants to live alone in a mountain cabin as far away as possible from others. She adopts as best she can to her environment but that is not enough. A hunter notices smoke coming from her cabin chimney and introduces himself. Later, he brings his niece, a nurse. They visit her off and on and bring her food and check her blood. The hunter teaches her how to hunt and fish and the woman’s loneliness and depression fade away. She plants a garden, decorates her cabin, and enjoys her life. Two years later she ventures into town and visits the hunter . He is near death. She thanks the hunter for all he did for her. He brought her out of her dislike of people. The mountain scenery is gorgeous! The acting by Robin Wright is excellent!

Though the story may be unusual, the film is a very romantic film using the music of Rachmaninov as background. Two people unexpectedly fall in love in Italy after WWII, but one is there to decide if he should divorce his wife or not. The other is an international pianist to relearn her skills so she can return to the concert stage. Their love is strong, but are they willing to give up their past completely? Which is it?

While the movie had great acting and direction I was surprised to see the scene where the platoon enters a village, shoots some people for no reason, kills their animals, rapes 2 young girls, and leaves the village with their huts and food supplies burning and destroyed. I sense this happened more often than not and certainly brought the Vietnamese to embrace North Vietnam. Despite the horror, it was good to give moviegoers a peek into the atrocities committed

Great story, perfect casting, excellent backgrounds

Two woman strangers meet and fall in love and express their love in one night. Then part. Would love to see a sequel as the ending is somewhat sad.

Awesome storyline, acting, everything awesome

Great drama about a young self-made millionaire who invites a beautiful woman (Sky) to live in his home in order to care for him as he recovers from a car accident. Keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch Sky gradually implement her plans to transfer the millionaire’s wealth to herself. Lots of action which includes scenes of violence, brief nudity, and blood. Great acting by all especially Lily Krug who plays Sky.

Great drama and acting. Keeps you on the edge of your seat til the end.

Compelling story of an abused teenager who, fleeing from her uncle, eventually bonds with an older man who protects and guides her, filmed amidst gorgeous Alaskan scenery. Great acting by Greenwood and especially Purnell as Mackenzie, the teenager. Film brings out the goodness in an older man who reluctantly accepts his role as her caretaker when she has no one else. An uplifting film for all to enjoy.

Great acting and a fairytale ending where 3 twenty-somethings bond together emotionally and physically with each other. The woman and her boyfriend are in love but she is unaware he is also in love with his boyfriend. She resents her boyfriend when she learns he is gay but reconciles herself to the situation because she loves him. She eventually becomes more than a friend with her boyfriend’s gay partner and all three live happily ever after. A good story with a twist for sure. If there were a sequel, I’d love to know how long this love triangle would last.
