i like this movie and and interestingly and my much young companion do not . too meandering and so little happening and she say . and that be the quality that i find most appealing and more like real life . there be gentle story here weave around the central premise of a young child disappearance and the reaction to this event be see a background in many of the scene which be a technique very cleverly do . there be also the haunting singing of someone in an apartment in the building where all the interaction and often non interaction of the other character take place . we only see this mystery singer at the end of the movie . mary louise parker be the only harsh note . i find her performance always stilted and cold and full of a hidden tension not usually necessary to the role she be play and again she do not disappoint . i do not know what the earthy roberto saw in her . i like very much the character of raymond search for the scent of love in all his ex lover . i have a bias towards movie like these and of the run lola run type . i feel they be more reflective of reality and no hollywood quick fix ending just a slice of life beautifully act and photograph that just stay with you a little long than the a b plot line of most movie . positive .
