Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is an excellent drama movie. The romantic bits aren't honey and flowers, but more gritty, and advance the plot well. Don't go into this with expectations of either the director or cast - this movie defies expectations. Also don't expect action or 'thriller' - there isn't any.You are drawn in to a very personal journey on how to resolve grief while guilt and 'need' get in the way. For many viewers, there is a starkness and slow pacing that might turn off anyone wanting instant gratification. I prefer to see it as the director taking her time to tell the story well, and completely.A very good one to curl up with your significant other, and watch.

You should definitely read the book instead. Some of the characters of great importance for the story is either written out or payed no attention to in the movie. Which is really a pity and also twists the basic story so it will never reach the level the books does. I was well disappointed as well to see an American actress hold the leading role. A Dawsons Creek actress -how did they ever come up with that? When the book was to come out, the big attack in London occurred and due to the many similarities of the fictive story and what happened in real life, they had to take the retract the book and postpone it's release for a year or so. I very much recommend the book, but the movie will only ruin it for you.

I just rented this yesterday without knowing anything about it beforehand. I sincerely think that it is an awfully bad film. I read a few of the reviews posted and cannot agree with the reviewers that say that if you don't like this movie you are either "an idiot, a zombie or who someone who likes action films and (evidently in their opinion) cannot understand anything else". If we are here to discuss (or comment) about movies let's just do so. Here are my plus points: good acting all around, good photography. Here are my minus points: 1) Unnecessarily complicated storyline. If you take away the Ewan McGregor character and the affair with the policeman, the story, which regards a woman losing her husband and child in a terrorist attack in London, would still stand-up and probably have been more focused. Did they need to make the movie longer just to reach 90mins? 2) Some characters are not believable. How does Ewan McGregor get to own an Aston Martin etc? Someone commented "who cares about the car". I wouldn't care but in films, if you have something that doesn't fit-in with the character it makes you think that maybe there is a reason for it then you start thinking what that reason could it be and, will running after butterflies, you lose focus on the principal storyline which I think is the drama of a woman losing her child in a bomb attack and everything else that goes with it.. Given that for some reason this character had to be in the film, if he had a Ford (for example) I think it would have been much better. By the way, for once I think that the Italian title is much more apt: translated it means "without apparent reason" which I believe answers the question of why this film was made.

The story of a woman grieving over the loss of her husband and son, seems like a story that should not be told, it felt like every scene was just watching her crying and having flashbacks. On the other hand, scenes were very well done, and clear at some points, very good special effects too. I have to say though, this is by far the worst movie I have seen, or at least, I can recall seeing. The whole story looks like repetition, and then the mystery to be revealed of how everything happened is very badly done, it is easily guessed, not in any way clever, and pointless. I do not recommend this movie to anyone, it is appalling.
