Thanks for the memories!

Good movie but grossly overrated

Best movie of this year hands down!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I loved the way this movie presented its uniqueness and individuality ~ nonconforming to the norm. The role of Eleanor was played brilliantly, but it is of Reggie that I want to see much more. Raw talent waiting to be shared. In Reggie's words, "You have a talent..." Please give me more of this young artist! I laughed, I cried! Cried hard at the ending, did not want it to end at all, but certainly not there. Perhaps we could see sequel to the remainder of Reggie's youth, that would also include Eleanor and how they finally return.I put this movie in enjoyment equal to "The Notebook". I watched it twice, will probably watch it a few more times. This movie is a gift.

This movie Beautifully and eloquently put together Eleanor and Reggie, it shows a deeper meaning to life, one that surpasses age, and show the potential intellectual capabilities of the human race, the way the writer wrote the script in combination with the classical music, is truly a masterpiece, the way the music makes you love the film even more. This film can relate to any person on a deeper emotional level, it shows the worst and the best of the human race, and in the end of the movie when Reggie is playing his cello, and Eleanor is playing her cornet, the music is so brilliantly composed, this movie will teach you things about yourself you didn't know.I Highly recommend this movie for anyone, keep in mind there is a lot of cursing in the movie. but as long as that isn't a problem for you, it'll be a amazing movie!

When Brooklyn waitress Eleanor has a sudden break-up with her fractious boyfriend, she needs a new job and roof over her head as soon as possible. She lucks out finding a position as live-in nanny to precocious, privileged Reggie who lives in a luxurious apartment on the upper west side of NYC. Both characters deal with their dysfunctional family backgrounds by maintaining reserved exteriors, and this unusual small-scale film portrays the developing relationship between a blue-collar young woman and the neglected twelve year old.The story begins slowly and continues at a leisurely pace throughout. Although nothing very dramatic occurs, their bond gradually deepens as they spend time with one another and discover a common interest in music. Leighton Meester and Julian Shatkin give nicely observed performances in the lead roles, but the script doesn't give them anywhere particularly interesting to go. Some emotional turmoil occurs when Reggie accompanies Eleanor back to her upstate home town due to a family crisis, but the episode seems rushed and artificial compared to other events. Their story eventually arrives at an understated conclusion.

You know some movies just give you shivers, because they are amazing. Well, this movie is far more than amazing. It's extraordinary! It's unbelievable how music can charm you. After watching this movie I am just sitting there in my chair and thinking which movie can be better? Which movie can release your feelings more? Which movie is so beautiful that you can cry of happiness? After being fired and braking up with her boyfriend the 23 years old Eleanor has no idea what to do with her live. Until, she gets the chance to become a nanny for a rich family in the upper West side of New York. There she is supposed to take care of the genius twelve year old boy named Reggie. But quickly the roles switch. Reggie takes care of Eleanor and an unlikely friendship arises. Through the film you will directly be in sympathy with both Reggie and Eleanor. And at least you can enjoy the beautiful soundtrack produced by Ed Harcourt.
