That was an excellent one.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

... but a bad film indeed. I have seen many of the reviews about this film and I agree with the fact that the protagonist was an insensitive clod with high school like pick up techniques that would not amount to much more than getting a date with a back up cheerleader. I believe that the movie was about a taxi driver, with literary skills writing a novel. In other words , this was all fantasy and eventually to be written into a 'bestseller'. There are clues through out this film when images appear and disappear and our protagonist is in a meditational state, at various points in the film. Hints of Michaels imagination were sprinkled through out this film, even at the very end, if you watch closely. That said, This was not a particularly good film. The acting was on the lame side, the story is one that was done many times before and a lot of silliness and unrealistic scenes, even if it was from the standpoint Michael was writing a novel. This was basically , a movie within a movie and I did not feel it worked. I also believe this film glorified cheaters, stalkers and yes even rapists. Michael writing a book or not was not likable and neither was super model Sarah Easton, the chain smoking, giddy, romantic and very married partner in lust. This movie tried to be different and yes even realistic, with the character flaws. It just was a lesson in futility to try and root for any of these people... Part of cabbie Michaels novel or not.

This movie captures the feeling of love and the internal obsessions that go with it. And the heartbreak and longing that tear you apart when things don't work out.By the way -- almost no one seems to have noticed that the ending is NOT hopeless at all. Michael talks about someday meeting up again and Sarah falling, then says how he has a Great God (as he says in the beginning), but in this take he says that He really came out for him this time -- and then follows the scene in the park with Michael and Sarah walking together and sitting on a park bench throughout the closing credits. I believe that was clearly meant as a hint of their love prevailing.

Ladies and Gentlmen, whoever said that movies had to be completely based on reality.. but on the possibility that regardless, of the Taxi Cab & Supermodel "Reality".. The passion.. the feeling of intensity.. of wanting and needing someone.. yet beyond just beyond the grasp of your reality.. The romance is exquisite and I recommend this intense piece as a "must see" for lovers.. die-hards and for those who want to re-live the intensity of a past love.. a long-ago love.. or to those that wish for something this intense.. I too, have experienced this type of love.. this.. amazingly erotic.. passion beyond words.. unrequited love.. I have to quote Stefan d. Wenger, "Eric Schaeffer is truly a poet, and the poetry of his characters AND of his direction and acting make this movie just as literate and philosophical as it is sexy and risqué" & "with a bevy of brilliant and memorable lines. As for the film's thematic foundation, watch this movie if you believe in romance, in falling in love, in rushing in headfirst and never looking back, in giving your all to one pursuit or one person or one passion... in not insisting on being so awfully safe"... The music is just as intense as the movie.. I wish there was a soundtrack to buy.. it would be in my collection in a snap! I have always loved this film for it's raw and sometimes graphic sexual passion and romance.. This is my favorite Indie film.. If you don't get it.. you haven't lived it.. so keep living life to the fullest and attempt to take a risk now and then.. Peace.. CJ

Caught this movie by accident one night on IFC, but it was definitely turned out to be one of my favorite mistakes!!! You have to watch more than once, each of the half dozen or so times I have watched this I picked up something new, something I didn't quite understand. It crosses boundaries, from the first intimate scene that is as erotic as they come with out... well, you'll see, to words of the "fax fairy" that can not help but evoke the passionate feelings in all of us. Like the Titanic, you know what is going to happen at the end of this story but the path in which it takes to get there is what will keep you watching.P.S. Anyone come across the movie's soundtrack, Amanda Kravat is amazing!
