When you're the type of person that watches a ton of movies (me); it's a treat when a movie floors you. Michelle is superb and this movie brings the term tour de force to mind. From the opening to the end, we're taken into the very deepest core of her character's heart and soul...and we're captivated! It is also a refreshing treat when a film maintains the attention throughout. I couldn't move and didn't want to pause or look away once.

This movie featured the maturely aged reality of love in a time where this wasn't the forefront of movie-making. While we've progressed positively in this area, we still have far more to accomplish. Praise and sincere respect for Barbra's enduring dedication to presenting material that appeals to those of us preferring to live our lives with truth and authenticity. As with all her projects and creative endeavors, this movie further cements her pure genius. My favorite moment of this film was when she's teaching at the beginning; lecturing to her class about love. The movie takes us on a journey seemingly opposite, but also totally comparable to her lecture. This comes full circle when she ends the relationship and breaks up with him after her makeover. These two pivotal points in the movie solidified this movie as being one of my favorite movies ever.
