i be very surprised how much i enjoy this film . i think it be funny and sexy and painful and and warm . andie macdowell performance be nuanced and vulnerable . for once and the director of a macdowell film do not make her beauty another character in the film . the romance between kate and her young man be lovely to watch and it play out very well . her relationship with her friend be both a thorn and a balm in her life . imelda stalinson and who have be a mvp in so many british film and do a great job in this . there be some tragedy in this but i think the film be save in the end by the brilliant acting and clean direction and and witty writing . the film quality be excellent and the music be good and too and though unavailable on sound track .
