Basically an artsy Lifetime channel movie. No wonder this sat on the shelf for so long. (Never heard of the novel) Gellar does her best with a hamfisted borderline nonexistent plot. There are some wonderful actors in this film, but you wouldn’t k ow it because they’re reduced to staring out of windows and mumbling randomness. Waste of time, not even a rental. SKIP.

One of the best books ive read and it sadly doesn't make a good film. It was an uneven mix, trying to be arty but given a Hollywood cast. Sarah Michelle Gellar isn't convincing enough and the love story angle is a bit wet. The end of the book hit like a punch here its done as a narration. Weak

telegraphed and heavy handed. Veronika decides to give away all plot points.

Great example of a terrific novel very poorly adapted to the screen.

Entertaining, slow movie. Good to see Sarah Michelle Gellar is always a treat.
