When I first started seeing this movie, I enjoyed it but I didn't love it. You know what I mean? This was because the story was a bit confusing and not very clear in the beginning. But when I continued watching, it all became clear and I ended up really loving this movie. The story was an excellent mix of all the ingredients of a real love affair. Julianne Moore was great as always. She can play any role and it's a shame she hasn't won any Academy Award yet. I think she should have one for her performance in "The Hours", which was without any doubt her best up to now. But I'm not worried, because I know she will certainly win an Oscar some day.
Ralph Fiennes was fine as well, but next to Julianne Moore I loved Stephen Rea the most. There is only one word to describe his performance and that is 'intense'. I loved him in every scene! Brilliant actor. The story was amazing as well. I think it showed the different stages of falling in love and loving very well. How the love is very physical in the beginning and afterwards develops to wanting to be with her all the time and holding her and being there for her.
Although the story of "The Wings Of The Dove" was something completely different, it reminded me a bit of this movie from time to time. Neil Jordan managed to make another great movie with an excellent cast and a classic story.
Worth watching! 8/10
