I think; And While We Were Here is a brilliant piece of cinema. One must get past the male/ female bias agenda. Re;some comments. Has anybody not been in such a boring relationship like Leonard and Jane's? I have seen many relationships like theirs; and they are still together. Their mistakes; losing her wallet, Stubbing his toe, their lovemaking are all very incite full observations of LIFE; when you are so bored with each other. Though; like many married people some stay together for life. I thought Caleb and Jane first kiss in the lane way was very intimate and arousing also; I disagree with some comments. In real life Jane would have stayed with Leonard and kept having interesting lovers on the side. Just; my warped view, here. I have met many Leonard's; most women stay with them. I can never understand this? Leonard's pain is palpable on the train in the last scene. This is great directing and great writing and acting. I would say that Kat Coiro is one great philosopher; writer and director and actor I see; as well! and attractive to boot. My Goodness; Such a talent; woh And the answer to;And While We Were Here? Is; to keep working towards understanding ourselves while we are here.

This movie reminds me of a really bad episode of the Australia soap Neighbors; a very long one. First; Ben Mendelsohn is a lousy actor. I've observed better preparedness from your average punter buying a loaf of bread in a Milk Bar than from him in any of his scenes here. This movie doesn't inspire me to read Doris Lessing's book also .Maybe some books shouldn't go to screen. Robin Wright is fine actress though her Aussie accent leaves a lot to be desired. The main thing is I didn't care about any of the characters; maybe a sleight empathy for Gary Sweets character. There was some beautiful sand on the beach also. Avoid this film and go clean your oven instead.
