Loved the movie! Not crazy over CF role, etc. Ralph Finnes is wonderful and it is nice to see him in a romantic role! Kirsten Scott-Thomas is stunning. Being a Canadian I loved all the references to Canadiana and the Canadian nurse (Juilette Binoche) and the almost perfect recreation of a fine piece of Canadian Lit. I did not however fall under the CF spell as I did in P&P2. His short hair, his naieve character (where the infidelities of his wife are concerned) and his pathetic response (sitting in t e car all night) and his ultimate response (I won't ruin it for those of you who have yet to see the film). His ability was wasted. Why doe this man skirt stardom?
