I just saw the movie for the second time after 3 years. I can't believe Sigourney Weaver didn't win any award for this amazing performance. She deserved an Oscar nomination for it. Alan Rickman is fantastic as well. Excellent low-key score, direction and writing.
One of the things I like the most about this movie is that it's so low-key. It doesn't put the sad stuff "in your face" in a cliché sort of way, but instead the sadness is usually underneath. Sigourney's character is happy in the most unlikely circumstances - which is the exact opposite of what you would except from a movie like this - yet it doesn't affect the sadness itself. Excellent work.
Don't forget to check out the deleted scenes - most of them are excellent and it's a shame they had to delete them from the final cut.
