Reviews:

Debacle with snowball effect
What works:
* screenplay and storytelling; it’s a heavy story dealing with maybe more than single ethical and legal matters
* acting by the lead characters especially Ben Kingsley
What did not work:
* maybe a more background about the leading actress, past life and about her strong reasons supporting her arguments
Final verdict- Recommended but it’s a hard watch considering the dubious situations of the characters in the movie

Brilliant and engrossing; one of 2003’s best films.
The story of two determined people, an American woman and an immigrant father, fighting over a small middle-class house on the California coast. Forget for a moment that Jennifer Connelly is a recovering alcoholic and that Ben Kingsley is an Iranian who fled the tyranny in his country. The important thing is that both persons are 100% right in their conflict with each other. Both have tenacity, neither is a quitter. This makes the situation into serious tough-going. Their dispute is never overdone with acts of violence or other cheap movie tricks, and the excellence of the film’s director is evident from the first second.

There’s more than one reason to like a movie, and herein we have Jennifer Connelly. Not only a fine actress, but a treat to the eyes. With her longish face, long black hair, and slender body; she’s a beauty in every scene — and her lithe frame looks so good in a simple grey T-shirt or anything else she wears. Jennifer could be wonderful to fall in love with. She can mope better than even Gweneth Plaltrow. So if a guy loves her, he has an endless challenge in cheering her up. His work at that will never be done, the challenge will make him happy; it never ends. That’s what life’s about; guys.
