Appraisal: This is one of those films about personal dramas, tortured characters, difficult choices, regrets. Films of that kind generally have an easy way to widespread critical recognition (this one had), provided they display technical and acting excellency (this one does). They are not required to contain anything artistically groundbreaking or creative, and in fact, given the record of films that achieved that status, one is allowed to say that they are forbidden to contain them.
This film runs at about 2 hours and 14 minutes, and it basically intends to show how these two men cannot get together. In the process, the viewer is presented with the lives of both men, separately, in detail. This makes little dramaturgical sense. You could tell the same story in a half an hour shorter movie.
Rating: 66
