An absolutely magnificent film. This is what movie making should all be about.
A story of parallel loves through the years is so good that words can't describe the emotions felt.
Both stories are beautifully told. In a supporting performance, Alan Alda nearly steals the show, as Ira Levinson, who recounts the story of a love he nearly lost, but was saved and by what the couple endured to compensate for what they couldn't have.
Our young North Carolina couple who comes upon Alda in his auto accident also have divisions that may destroy their relationship.
This is a highly intelligent, thought provoking film. Life can succeed when people work to do so. Of course, the Cinderella-like ending may not be always what occurs, but it established a love to go on.
