I think the film has a very realistic plot in which it is difficult not to become fully absorbed by the story or to empathise with each of the two main characters. It was brilliantly acted with both Mirren and Sutherland at their absolute best.
Having read some of the negative reviews I was somewhat frustrated and disillusioned. Of course different people have different points of view but why can't some people accept films for what they are i.e. entertainment. This often requires a degree of artistic interpretation. If you want total scientific accuracy then go watch a documentary and stop trying to put a dampener on other people's enjoyment.
I found the film to be funny, endearing, sad and even profound in parts. In short, I loved it. It was the most enjoyable film I've watched in many months and will definitely watch it again in the future.
