Excellent film about a young widow who falls in love with a somewhat older waitress. A beautiful love drama with two well-played characters who are quite different from each other but also have something in common. Their relationship is credibly portrayed here. The film has a pleasant pace and good acting by James Spader and Susan Sarandon who are also well cast here. A small 4.0 stars.

So weird every time our hero James Spader wants to get in his car, that business with that key. Even before the Hollywood bleep-bleep era - has anyone ever seen a car that actually does that, or does that only exist in the movies? And then those computers. I remember we had one of those at work, a double-thick PS/2 PC. That thing actually cost something like 25,000 guilders, because it had a bit more memory and - brace yourself - a numeric coprocessor. By the time we figured out how to do something with that, the 486 was already there, and that thing was already included.
And something similar. Smoking in the checkout line at the supermarket? I've smoked in a lot of places, including in the shower, but I've never managed to do it. Was there ever a real universe where people did that?
But perhaps the most telling thing, the thing that most places the film back in the 80s or so, is the soundtrack. That saxophone when it finally all goes well, when the uber-predictable happy ending is coming. More that, than all that stuff with those cars and those PCs. Or that I didn't realize then how beautiful Sarandon is. That it's more important to choose who you are than what others expect of you. That people are more important than money. That you can't eat a career.
Is it a good movie? maybe not, and there are also quite a few questionable scenes that really should have been redone. And those Christmas garlands are just too much. And all the bars I've ever been to, and there are more than I remember, seriously, a table like that just breaks.
Dear.
