Highlights:
- This Ridley Scott film (a probable inspiration to the thamizh flick Jeyamkondaan) is a piece of poetry; I didn't know what genre it was set in and what I saw surprised me. Memories are always special and so is this film on the same.
- Russell Crowe plays his role to perfection; He does comedy exceedingly well and acting comes naturally to him.
- The others in the cast are apt and the old man Uncle with his occasional words of wisdom earns 'respect'
- The music is brilliant and so is the quiet comedy that flows through the run of the film
