An old fashioned hallucinatory quality adds significant appeal to this drama of love across the class divide. Production values aside, t's a film that could have plausibly been made in the 1950s and is all the better for the restraint. It doesn't spoon feed you exposition and left speculating whether one character's explanation for the events really happened.Appreciate Norton's attempt at the accent, but it occasionally took me out of the film especially as Biel, Sewell and Giamatti don't bother. I always enjoy Giamatti's tortured performances and soulful eyes.
Verdict: A satisfying study of love triumphing over power.
