What a love story! The scenarios are beautiful and very real, the actors are excellent. I love this movie.
Slow and boring movie which gives an unrealistic and far reaching image of love. The acting of Benjamin Bratt was superb but the direction and the overall acting of the cast was very disappointing.
This is the best love story I have seen in a very long time. The plot has great depth. Characters played an excellent role and the movie captured great scenery.
