susan sarandon . she make this movie for me . i have never appreciate her act more than a i do in this movie . she really act a though she be adele august . i can appreciate actor and actress who leave their individual persona and create a character who truly believable . natalie portman a ann august help create the ideal antagonist a their character develop through the movie . the movie be about them so the other character be peripheral . i give this movie an eight rating and but susan receive a ten from me because of her performance . as far a relationship movie go and beach and term of endearment have a great impact on me than this movie and but i highly recommend it .
