Surprised at the low ratings so I have to add my two cents- this film was one of those that requires watching the non-dialogue scenes - in other words visual engagement is required, in addition to audio in order to understand the characters.
As the scenes unfold -sometimes in flashbacks they allow us to follow the development (or lack thereof) of the characters as they negotiate their family dysfunctions becoming public and also deal with the aftermath of previous exposes. I liked that this wasn't a typical happily ever after romance in that the main character, Fenton realized that he would be hurting the woman he loved more by trying to hold onto her- that awareness came after having a heart-to-heart with his father in the park where they actually got real with each other. Those moments were, the culmination of all the scenes that came before showing how little they communicated or cared about connecting with each other outside of their superficial ego, driven scripts. I found this a really enjoyable film, kind of a bittersweet ending, but so much like real life; things don't go the way we always want them to so we do our best to learn from them and make the best of it .
