Ten years after I'm still surprised to see that this film remains mostly unknown, even to some Coixet's fans who have appreciated her latest films. I don't know either why people talk about depression as something related to this film as for me it is the most positive and optimistic that Isabel has made until today. It's true that we accompany some people settled in the border of society passing through their depressions, people who by some reason have problems to match to the world, but every second of this film shows hope and confidence in human condition. All these lives entwined like a web, struggle to find their place and build their own solution to this world, necessarily completed by a twin soul. It joins the message of Chaplin's "Modern Times", the world isn't perfect but we have to live in and human nature is strong enough to go on. It's a tale about love and life, about self definition and identity, about depression and hope, about knowing ourselves. To help Isabel in her aim we find two of the best actors in independent cinema of that moment. Andrew and Lily are simply perfect, they make theirs the brilliant script that, like in the work of Russian master Chejov, only showing us those banal conversations between people, it allows to discover by intuition the real message that underlies the surface: those "Things I never Told You" that contain the real passion of the world.

I give it a three, and just because it's always a pleasure to see Sandra on the screen. Keanu reeves is the worst actor in cinema's History having achieved such a success.

I'm pretty surprised how user's votes tend to equalize all films, and it becomes complicated to know what a film is like. At least there are the user's comments, sometimes quite intelligent.

I'm sorry if this comment may disturb somebody, it's not my purpose to provoke. But really I think this is a silly film, the plot taken otherwise could have done well, it's original.

A film to see if you have nothing else to do and you don't want to do brain's work. PS - What about the Pararlel world's theory? Did you see back in the future?.

Please, the worst crime we could do to this film is not to see it in french. Only for this is worth the effort of learning it.

The first 15 minutes of the film are a lesson of cinema and language, and it's completely impossible to rend the magnificence that this beautiful language gives to this spectacular start, that fits like a glove.

French language and this film, they were born to live together and so they shall remain.

A gem of sweet taste, original and warm.
