Diane Lane shines in this very entertaining and engrossing love story
Diane Lane (Oscar nominee for "Unfaithful" and "The Perfect Storm") gives a radiant performance as Adrienne Willis, the female lead in "NIGHTS IN RODANTHE". She is unhappily married and separated from her cheating husband. She is trying to men her shattered life by retreating to a lovely guest house on the beach of Rodanthe. There she meets Dr Flanner (played with sophisticated charm and warmth by a top of his game Richard Gere). The two are uncomfortable at first but a bond soon happens between them and they slowly begin to fall in love. But heartache and tragedy are still to come and it is how these characters overcome these that makes this such a satisfying and wonderful film. Gere is very very good and he and Diane Lane strike up a great chemistry (as they did in the hit movie "Unfaithful"), but the acting honours go to Diane Lane who is simply superb in the lead role. Another Oscar worthy performance by this great actress. Very worthwhile movie!
