Brilliant story, brilliant acting, brilliant directing. I don't understand why this movie has a low rating. From the very beginning, it captures you, quite sad at some point but it just kept getting better. A well deserving ending I must say.
And beautifully observed, well acted and atmospheric. It tells a simple story, believably, to a beautiful soundtrack. A thoroughly enjoyable film
"What about you, Bonnie? Did you get manage to get through the week without hitting your dog?"
Lone Scherfig has a unique fingerspitzengefühl and an absolute pitch for the distress of life. She has composed a breathtaking tale about a collection of odd existences colliding in the New York winter. A statement about life's many adversities but where goodness always triumphs in the end. A theme that the film industry is in dire need of.
It's a must see.

The production value isn't great - but honestly it's feel good , the characters are endearing and real and it's worth your time .
The protagonists didn't meet in some magical way , instead it really is through genuine kindness in real life situations which leaves the movie feeling genuine .
Good message , relatable characters and leaves you feeling better about humanity .

There is nothing wrong with a movie that isn't polished like a diamond. No, the writing isn't perfect and the acting is not genius (albeit good), but stories are bigger than their words. The cinematography is very nice, especially if you're a fan of NY.
I look forward to more from the creator.
