Films that are completely unpredictable without being self-indulgent are rare these days. This was one of them.
I had not read the summary before watching, so i wasn't expecting any 9/11 connection and was not disappointed. With excellent & subtle performances by a talented cast, the story builds up slowly and keeps you engaged with delicate clues that seem to go nowhere and yet let you know there's something special waiting at the end.
Like many other vignette films, this movie is about the human condition, connecting the lives of the characters in small ways without making any of the protagonists the lead character. This film reminded me a little of 'Crash', one of the best films of this genre. It's definitely a lower octave than 'Crash', but still quite moving.
The soundtrack is wonderful & plays a big part in the film without overwhelming it. I really enjoyed this.
