    Ian McKellen stars as a Saskatchewan-born professor who spent most of his life in England and now returns to Canada to receive a degree and to visit his niece whom he has never met. As the story unfolds, we discover the emotional scars beneath the surface of each character that prevent them from being whole. McKellen is brilliant as always, and seems eminently suited for the role of a retired professor.

    This movie has good and bad. First, it drags. Emile, the main character is flashing back throughout the movie - I think sometimes you see him as a young Emile, but sometimes he keeps his current age. It is all confusing. However, if you last beyond the first hour, the story becomes easier to follow and more interesting.

    A touching story about a mans forgotten memories and how he chooses to handle them. Partly slow but never the less moving and interesting.

    Loses points for the cop-out ending (no WAY would she forgive him that fast), but wonderful up until that point

    it was good. i think i enjoyed this more than most people. its really really slow, but it does reward the patient.
    ian mckellen does a really really good job, he was really well cast, i even think that thats one of his best performance's. as with deborah unger, i don't really like her, but she was really great in this. and it was really well written.
    but i can't help feeling that it would have been better as a stage play or something, rather than a movie. plus the direction of it was very questionable
