rainy day poignant

I would put this in the same category as "London", with Jessica Biel. It will graphically and painfully remind most people of someone they loved and lost. It's the kind of movie to watch when you are already feeling down due to a break-up, or when you kind of want to feel that way or remember a girl / guy you who you once loved.

This is also a pretty good coming-of-age story. Laura Linney, playing the lead's mother, delivers advice I will never forget about people begging you to be weak but really wanting you to be strong. Still, the love story and heartbreak is the most powerful thing in it, to me.

I look forward to more movies from Ethan Hawke.
