My Thoughts:
I decided to watch this one when I noticed on the cover it said it was based on a true story. Which is mentioned again in the opening of the film. I kind of have a mixed reaction to this one. It is a slow based movie... but that is not a problem for this one. It is expected to be so. I liked the two main characters. Not so thrilled with the ending. But the worst thing about it is that I really don't see any re-watch value to this film at all. While it is well worth the watch the first time around... I have the feeling I would be pretty bored with it if I was to watch it again. Though I can see myself getting more from it if I watch it with the commentary on next time... but beyond that.... can't see myself watching this one again.My Rating:

Review
We have all heard the phrase ; well let me tell you right from the start, Away From HerIkiruThe Sea Inside, then Away From Her kind of flicks, then I would definitely steer clear of this film.
Review Criterion
- The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence.
- Not quite an immortal film, yet a masterpiece in its own right.
- Historically important film, considered a classic.
- Borderline viewable.
- A gangrenous and festering pustule in the chronicles of celluloid.(From Away from Her (2006) on May 12th, 2010)
