Well, I've been watching horror movies and practically nothing else for a while now, so I thought I'd go for something more lighthearted earlier today...

Second time watching this, and I think it's surpassed When Harry Met Sally, Punch Drunk Love and Hannah and Her Sisters as my favourite romantic movie of all time. Despite the fact that there are so many god-awful rom coms out there, and that a lot of them are predictable as anyone's business, there's a right old soft bastard in me who appreciates a really good romance.
Usually if a film's soaked with academy awards, that's basically a sign telling me to stay the hell away from it. I can honestly say that this film fully deserves every accolade it got though. It's just a really uplifting, beautifully written, directed and acted film, and a show that all it takes to drive a story sometimes are compelling and thoroughly 3-dimensional characters, and not necessarily a traditional, tightly-rendered dramatic story arc.
So, yeah, I love this film.
