Well I enjoyed it! (Even the bits without our Vincent in). VV's character was so typically male - excuses for doing nothing, pleading hard work for not helping out a working partner, boys' games taking priority over couples' things. It was well observed, quite funny at times, and definitely told from a woman's point of view. Vincent, of course, was wonderful. When his brother goes to hug him and he recoiled, it reminded my friend of her brother, who is from a pre-Asperger's age, but who she is sure is Asperger's.

I'm with Eliza....I'll wait for pay per view to see it. But he's getting rave reviews, even if the movie isn't, so that's pretty cool. But thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteGoing to see it tonight - can't wait!
