i be pleasantly surprise with this movie . wow and this have be a great couple of year for bill nighy . he have show such range and he continue in that endeavor in this movie . romola also take a striking turn in the lead a the sensitive and wiser and but young sister . i most enjoyed tara fitzgerald and quiet performance and think it quite exceptional . she should have receive award recognition for it . rise byrne and one of the excite new actress to come on the scene and be very effective a the slightly self center and dramatic old sister . henry thomas also turn in a very sensitive performance . this movie doesn not have an unrealistic end and maintain it identity and integrity with solid story telling and good production value .
