And then life confronts him with a married couple, however, already separated, the father in which is completely mad with grief after the death of his only son. Gideon is situationally close to the boy’s mother Stella (Miranda Richardson), and then realizes that he is very attracted to this woman, who is very difficult, but in her own way, experiencing loss without losing empathy towards others. The film is also quite restrained, with a rather unexpected end.
Great acting, two of which – B. Nyi and E. Blunt – were awarded the Golden Globe, and I am very sorry that this award was passed by Miranda Richardson, whose role is the most dramatic of all and at the same time beautifully played. A little unfortunate, in my opinion, the method used by the director, since the absence of the narrator in the situations shown in the film casts doubt on his dedication to all the details, since he apparently knew this from the words of the main character, and sometimes looks a bit illustrative, but this is already if you pick on it.
