June 6, 2008Laura Linney outshines the film, the cast, even herself sometimes. I was actually surprised an actress of her calibre would sign on to a film such a this, the plot goes nowhere, gives us nothing and is of no particular interest. P.S's problem seems to be its unwillingness to sett...( read more)

March 7, 2008A great idea for a story but brought across badly.
It doesn't have the power that such a film needs. If you need something to fall asleep to then this could be the film. -

December 4, 2007I found it very sad to watch how desperate
and pathetic Louise & Missy seemed ,
Just tragic how too wonderful women could come across as so empty & depressed still stuck in a time were they were both happy & instead of moving forward they contiue to move backwards.
