the audience applauded

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

For those of us who like to remember loved ones, who believe movies can and must be more than just a laid back entertaining experience, but a voyage through our own feelings, imagination and the past images, people and moments gone by that make us who we are today, I would recommend this apparent portray of a woman's insanity between two lives that are, in reality, directly linked to explain who she really is. Yes the movie is sometimes difficult to follow for rational minds, but the final moments bring it all together. You may not like it from a rational standpoint, but from an emotional one, if you have found in a stituation someday where you've had to relive, accept and say goodbye to your past in order to really appreciate your present, then emotionally, you will understand and appreciate it. Demi Moore delivers a subtle and wonderful performance. I miss her. I wish someone would tell her (or Hollywood) that an actress should not be judged on the regularity of big movies she cashes in for them but on the quality of the movies and messages her projects deliver. Thanks for making me remember my mom again ;)

Although the premise is far from original (like someone else already said, it had been used only two years earlier by Raoul Ruiz in a film called "Shattered Image"), it is certainly interesting. It's the kind of premise that makes you want to see a movie, and that keeps you watching it all the way to the end. The film itself is dull, however. The filmmakers have chosen to de-emphasize the mystery/fantasy aspects of the story, and to emphasize the romantic aspect. But for all the time that is devoted to them, both romances that Demi gets involved in are pretty hollow, and visually the film is much less inventive than "Shattered Image". Eventually the truth is revealed, but even that is done in a most anti-climactic manner. (**)

An interesting argument in a very slow film, which seems to be more French than an American made one. You must see carefully the first scenes to follow the proposed plot. If you do not that you will be certainly lost by mid of the film. Even though you will be in doubt regarding the real personality of Marie/Martha Marie 'Marty' Talmadge (Demi Moore). Whom she really loved? it was a mystery.

I got this movie on DVD in China, and the quality of the pressing wasn't great. Nevertheless, the story was well constructed and well acted. The switches from the scenes in France and those in New York were well done and certainly helped my small brain to know where I was in the story. I wouldn't call it a plot. Just a simple story with romance and difficult decisions... which lover to stay with? The idea that both partners could be completely fictional makes the story interesting. And the climax of the movie was beautifully done. I would certainly recommend this to people who like romantic stories!
