i have my doubt about another love story wherein disabled individual find meaning and redemption through honest communication . and it still not at the top of my list . but the performance from helena bonham carter and kenneth branagh and exemplary and almost stunning and and rescue this from be just another tear jerker . carter depiction of an al victim be strong and perhaps even overdo at time ( sometimes her dialog dissolve into undistinguishable muttering ) . but the overall effect be commendable and reward . branagh may be the perfect compliment to her performance .
