the last scene was a bit overwrought though. the film as a whole doesn't really build to any sort of revelation, and maybe that's the point, but the kidman character doesn't really go through any change at all. (in fact the whole movie seems to be about raising her expectations and then destroying them--c'est la vie, perhaps, but i felt mugged, yeah life sucks glazer, thanks for reminding me.)

Unravelling the basically irrelevant Rertour de Jock Ewingesque plot late on felt kind of pointless - maybe it was just there to show that it doesn't matter whether love is warranted or not, but we all knew that, right?
But never mind. The point, as Jonathan Romney said in his Independent on Sunday review, is to follow it emotionally, and that I did. But it wasn't quite all there for me. I don't think I blame NK.
