The funny thing about this movie is that it is a film that I could imagine Albert Finney making thirty plus years ago.
It resembles one of those British Angry Young Men like movies that Albert Finney and Alan Bates etc. made at that time - but it is a more mellow film and it wins over the angrier films of that era with it's calm humor and gentle conclusion.
My wife and I hadn't read any reviews and saw it in a movie theater today without and preconceptions. We both rather like this film and find it refreshing to see Crowe playing this type of role.
We had seen Marion Cotillard in the 3 Taxi films produced by Luc Besson where she played a hectic silly character. Her character here is calmer and has so much more depth and is much more interesting.
