I don’t have a pithy comment or obscure memoir entry for this one. I guess that leaves me with actually having to write about the movie. It is a really sweet movie. Incredulously sweet at time. I loved the acting in it. Felicity Huffman was terrific – I would have given her the Oscar for it*. Kevin Zegers’ performance reminded me of Gael García Bernal in Y tu mamá también.

* Not that Reese Witherspoon, Keira Knightley or Judi Dench weren’t excellent, but I can’t think of a movie where they didn’t play bubbly righteous belle, snotface or snobby spirited noblewoman respectively. It seems like credit really goes to the casting crew.
