The filmmaker's ability to take such intimate, personal scenes and tell
such a powerful story truly honors these two people. If you are
empathetic with those who are challenged and struggle to find
meaningful relationships I think it would be hard to not be quickly
drawn in to this story. Dina has had significant life experience -
Scott's world has been much more limited. But his love of Dina and his
wish to succeed in this marriage won me over repeatedly. Dina was
surprising in her ability to articulate what she needed from Scott. His
appreciation of Dina's past said so much about his character. Dina's
accident was revealed in such a stark and stunning manner. This is not
a commercial film but I hope it continues to find an audience. This is
the most moving film I've seen in decades.
