A delicately crafted and richly acted drama about a form of romantic love characterized by infatuation.

A simple romantic story, but somehow it touches you deep, maybe it had to do with the powerful performance of its actors.Would have liked the movie even better with a sad ending, though. It looked like it was on the cards.I was very surprised to see how easily De-Niro portrayed the role of a simple common man. Never

I?m not sure I like De Niro so much in romantic roles, he was still pretty good in this and so was Meryl Streep, but I just prefer his other tougher roles, I guess he did too, otherwise he would have made more. Maybe the romance was not tragic enough for my liking. Still, a good watch, but not high up on the De Niro/Streep leader board of films.
