interest that this 2007 film be only now get the recognition it deserve ( a 2009 glaad nomination for outstanding film or limited release see message board ) . have never even heard of it when it be release and i just now finish watch it and and be deeply move by it even handedness and lack of melodrama . instead of be a potboiler and save me ( which indeed could have use some rescue from the back burner of publicity ) gently simmer it character in a subtle stew of reason and emotion . one might expect the climax of such a film to concern sexuality and but instead it reach out to encompass the gestalt of human relationship and of be and belong . a someone who watch almost no tv and i do not recognize any of the actor and so i be pleased to discover them in this film . gant and allen be fine and lang be excellent and and judith light be an absolute phenomenon represent an astonishing performance of understated depth and nuance . she deserve an oscar nod . the writing be thoughtful and well balance between character interaction and personal introspection ( through individual disclosure to an off screen presence reveal at the end of the film ) . production value be superb and give what i assume be a small budget . along with explore the psycho dynamic of the individual and their subsequently conflict relationship and the film place the viewer at a level of detachment which promote compassion for all of the principal as well a a sense of forgiveness that be christian in the very best sense of that word .
