The relationship in this movie is a messy one. Both characters are flawed, and you don't have to look too hard to find the flaws. The film does not dwell on the flaws, nor does it seem to want the viewer to spend time on them. Instead, we get an honest portrayal of two people trying to make it work. They aren't indignant about what they need or what they deserve. To paraphrase Steve Martin's character in L.A. Story, they find love even though they need a pickaxe to find it. I thought it was a beautiful story. It may have gone on one scene too long, but that is purely subjective. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
