I just watched the very first episode and after it was over I just sat there, silent, amazed at what I had just seen. It's dialog and character driven. It's simple and yet complicated. Gabriel Byrne seems to be the perfect choice for the therapist character. He's an actor who says a lot with his face and his eyes. Frankly, I can't wait to see what happens with these people.

Very engaging first episode. It drew me in with just two people sitting in a room talking. There really aren't many things out there that can do that. Definitely give it a chance, especially if you enjoy most things HBO.

I think I liked it... I kind of had to think about it for a while after I saw it. It was on IFC and I was bored so I decided to just give it a try, plus Daniel Day Luis was in it. I ended up being surprised by the love part of the story, It sort of kicks you in the head and wakes you up a bit. Daniel Day Luis resembles a much nicer looking Vanilla Ice, but manages to stay quite handsome. It was an interesting take on racism and emigration. I would recommend it to anyone who likes odd little movies with a little spark of something magic in them. The only complaint I have would be the ending, I felt like things were a bit unresolved so I was somewhat unsatisfied, but looking back on it I did enjoy it overall.

Well, to say the least I "thoroughly enjoyed" this movie. Having only watched it on TV I may not have seen it in it's entirety but what I did see I liked. Ewan McGregor just can't be bad in anything I suppose, or at least I haven't seen a movie yet where he didn't steal the show with his dazzling ability to become his character. The movie itself had quite a beautiful look to it and the odd loveliness of the daughter in the movie really gave you a funny sense all throughout it. It's not your ordinary tale, but the writing was wonderful and the acting superb. If you like odd love stories with a twist, this is the perfect example. And it doesn't hurt if you like Ewan McGregor, he absolutely shines.
