Cosas que nunca te dije

I'm so sorry that this movie has existed for over 10 years before I saw it, because it is completely adorable and delightful. Andrew McCarthy is perfectly cast as a sad sack 30-something, and the incomparable Lili Taylor is also perfect as the object of his affection. The film is a terrific balance of poignant moments and sly humor (the scene with the woman sobbing in the grocery store is a prime example). The sharp, off-beat writing just reminds me how bland and generic and dull Hollywood movies are, even the supposedly cutting edge ones like Funny People. The secondary characters also add to the atmosphere - Debi Mazer, Alexis Arquette, Seymour Cassel and others. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys movies about people and the eternal quest for happiness.
