I went to see this film with much anticipation, given the excellent reviews and Oscar nominations. While it is much better than most of the juvenile fluff out there, I don't understand the hype. The acting is solid, with Tom Wilkinson being exceptional among the cast. It was great to see Sissy Space again, but I found her character to have one emotional note throughout and her character's cigarette smoking was completely unnecessary and distracting. I find the positive comments about the cinematography odd, since I found myself paying attention to the camera angles too many times; if I notice, it's not subtle enough for my taste. My main complaint is that it was just too long.
