FAR BETTER THAN "HORSE WHISPERER"
With my apacolyptic world view with the evolutionary dailliance of Homo sapiens leading to certain planetary sucicide I found this film to be wholesome and uplifting rather than the usual American video presentations of violence,drugs,meaningless sex, models to bring out the worst in human behavior including our public school system students,horror etc.
I could find nothing to criticize in this film.
The acting, cinematography,music, and story were superb.
A major theme was the relentless task of dealing with catastrophic loss in a constructive way and moving on to new authentic relationships and finding "your people."
The film also had many humorous and poignant scenes.
The contrast of Wyoming with NYC was of special interest to me.
I'm from back East, and have lived in Wyoming for almost fifteen years and before that Montana.
This cinema reminded me of two French films "Blue" and "Red" from The Three Colors series by a Polish director.
Here again was the issue of surving and coping major unexpected loss or losses.
The answers again included personal courage and finding "your world of decent caring people".
