Title: Pretty good, great acting
Review: I was in Hawaii in Dec 2007. Grabbed a book in the condo and read this story in an evening. I found it titillating, engrossing, and strangely close to home, and very moving. Anyone who has been in love, for a long time or just starting out, will relate to this story.Fast forward to a few days ago. Found this movie and bought it. As my wife of 35 years and I were watching I was thinking "sure is a familiar plot", then it hit me about the book.The plot is very similar (book to movie) and very deserving of the actors who play the parts. I wish they would have developed the early life of Chloe's character a little more, but that probably would have made the move too long.It is a story about love (the fleeting infatuations as well as the long term slow burn of which I know both) and all of it's manifestation, the traps, the joys, the sex, the glory, the heartbreak, the triumphs, the loss.Lots of discreet nudity, powerful acting, lots of emotion.We liked it!
