marta sissy pucell a really bad film for a good director like Susanne Bier. I was very disappointed, this film is full of stereotypes. It's predictable and the characters are fake and unbelievable, cinematography is an incredible series of post cards. The acting is very poor and it couldn't be otherwise with such bi dimensional characters. I guess a good director like Bier must have had some crisis in doing such a bad film, I hope she realizes this is her worst film. I believe she is a good director and I appreciated her film Brothers very much, I wonder what has happened this time. I believe she really must have had some very superficial ideas about Italy and Italians.

annuskavdpol This movie was about relationships and how they intertwine into each other. It seemed that a lot of the individuals overlapped into each others relationships. For example, the daughter who was about to get married, and her husband to be, faced overlapping behaviours. And then the father of the potential son in-law started to have feelings for the potential daughter in-laws mother. To me, these are blurred lines. As I can imagine the feelings the daughter and son would have when they find out that their parents were romantically involved. In this story, the blurred lines, seem to be acceptable, because of circumstances, however, boundaries is a factor. Does true love bypass anything else? Does true love transcend the rules that society upholds? Or does an individual have to always stay true to society based boundaries versus following ones own authentic feelings of what is experienced as true love?

stephanlinsenhoff This sweet comedy shows when everything has happened that should not happen happens. Surgery and chemotherapy for breast cancer, her husband with a much younger work colleague on their sofa. Ida travels without her husband to Italy to their daughter's wedding in Sorrento. At the airport in the parking area she backs in to Philips car. Philip, movie-coincidence, is the father to the boy her daughter will marry. Of course and what else. After the arrival, with Philip on their way to their children she has to listen how he treats his staff ("I pay them") bluntly telling him in the taxi that she dislikes him. What else: the movie follows the well known scheme. In a touching monologue in front of everybody her daughter calls off the wedding. The call-off is the cover-up for the real romance and the real 'happy end': the between-the-lines-romance of her mother and the widowed father. Back home where life goes on ... until Philip comes to the hair salon for a haircut the expert she is, talked of he needs. But it is her he needs. But: too early. First other things has to happen. She has to take care of. One: her unfaithful husband. This husband that appeared at their daughters wedding with his latest love affair. Not only 'Love is all we need', the English title: but more.The movies centerpiece is the scene at the beach. She swims. Without clothes and wig, lying there in the sand: naked and bald. Discovering what she does Charles rushes down to warn her of the dangerous undercurrents in the water. Coming out of the water, she: "Don't look" and he: "I am not looking. Take your clothes on". He does not look. But what he does is he sees! Beyond her nakedness, beyond her baldness. The 'skaldede frisør', she is. Seeing her what and as she is. Beyond. The reason for their happy ending. Not in the hair salon. He tried but came too early for a haircut he does not need. First she must take care with the business with her husband. First then, later and now she comes and asks him to open the answer from the hospital and read it to her. By looking at her and his eyes we 'see' what the letter says without hearing him reading the letter: their second Chance.new years eve 2013, for Clemencia

Reno Rangan Surprisingly this movie expelled all my expectations. It was a simply good movie with nice characters and places, not an awesome-awesome one though. So diverse romance-drama told in the perspective of the elder people's beginning of a new relationship. It is a predictable plot so there's no surprise twists at all. From the director of 'In a Better World' this movie narrates the story of a widower and a hairdresser whose husband is cheating on her. A widower businessman in his 50s probably is preparing to attend his son's wedding in abroad. In other side of the story a woman who successfully completed her cancer treatment as well getting ready to attend her daughter's wedding in Italy. In an accident these two meet at the airport. With a little discomfortable at beginning they start to like each other. For the sake of children these two must sacrifice what they have found within them. So the lives goes on as it forced them to move along with it.Extraordinary performances by Pierce Brosnan and a woman on his counterpart character called Ida was awesome. I can't finish this review without mentioning the bride, she looked so pretty. Sadly it was not her story. The seaside locations in Italy were beautiful, played a crucial role in the movie's pleasant presentation. They shot it at the right season I guess because it was alluring. Everyone might not enjoy the movie because it deals about older people's romance and I am not old but I liked it.
