The premise seems simple enough: two former lovers meet at a wedding years after their relationship ended. During the first part of the movie Bonham Carter absolutely shines. I mean that she is absolutely magnetic as a headstrong woman entering her late 30s. As the movie progresses the dynamic changes the nature of the characters also change. Bonham Carter becomes a bit more accessible and Eckhart has a chance to pick up the ball. I think what really makes this movie unique is that the movie can be watched on a couple of different levels. You can watch it as a simple "lets figure out why they broke up" movie (although this was done much better in Blue Jay) but for those that want to look a bit deeper there is a lot there. The movie deploys a couple of devices to tell the story. One such device is having the characters say a line two and three times - this is meant to show how they wished the line came out. Another is a bit of a split screen - this device becomes important in the (fantastic) final scene. I loved it. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
