I saw this film a dozen times one summer when it beguiled me with it gentle tempo and wonderful performances.
The perplexed midlife of Jeff Goldblums insurance salesman and the fragile childlike wonder of Anne Heches'character set up a beautiful platform for the characters to develop.
The lead actors give some of their best performances of their careers, Heche in particular captures kind a hopefulness reserved for people who have learned to expect little from life.
As the audience we know Goldblum isn't Auggie Rose from the first scene and the because of the fragility Heche brings to her character, the tension of the relationship grows perfectly through the film.
Without giving a deeper summary of the plot and to avoid spoilers, I will simply say the film is worth seeing just for it characters and performances the actors give to bring those characters to life.
A beautiful and unexpected gem - Highly Recommended.
