I loved this movie very much, I liked it’s subtlety, and it’s gentle progression. It didn’t just show the naked events, but wrapped them in emotion that left you pondering the film for a long time after. It is not so much a film that leaves you gutted or in anger, but which asks for a moment of silence at the end, to digest all you have just seen. I thought it brilliant also in the way that it didn’t have any of the old cliche’s interwoven in the plot-it was original. If i was anyone, I would give it 5 stars.

Thanks JP! I didn’t know that, but I did keep thinking of Forrest Gump when I was watching it, they are similar in many ways. Eric probably probably has a “Jenny” in his heart.

I’m happy to know that you enjoyed the film too, Kevin.

The writer, Eric Roth, also wrote Forrest Gump!

Be well!

Didn’t read your review until I watched the movie just now. I have to say this IS a brilliant movie, I like it very much. The fantasy is completely new to me but made a lot of sense. At the beginning I thought it would be fun and lucky to grow younger, but it turned out to be sad in the end.

The love was portrayed very beautifully, which reminded me of Forrest Gump – both started very innocent, then separation, happy reunion, and ended up with desperation and peace.

I think I will watch it again.

BTW, it’s fun to read your review after I watch a movie.
