One of the saddest movies I've ever seen.


I wasn't at all impressed when the movie first started. But as it moved along, I became more and more interested. I thought Sam Shepard was perfect for his role and how could you possibly not fall in love with Julie Delpy?

Once they got together is when the story really picked up. And I figured out just shortly before he did that she was his daughter. A sticky situation, yet a beautiful love story.

Once he found out it, became sadder and sadder. And then the ending was a real tear-jerker.

I'm not going to get into the whole morals thing. That's pretty obvious. You just have to remember that he didn't know when he fell in love with her.

And I think she was just so adorable in this movie. I'd like to have a girl like that for myself.
