When it all comes down to a final reckoning, what and who would you choose to fill your moments, to fulfill you? This brilliant and lovely tale examines who we are when we are just ourselves...without the wide world to carry us on...when it's just our choices and intuition left. Some rush into a void of nihilism, some look for a warm communal meshing, some cling to order and perfection, or the hope of a new beginning, some find God by the shining shore...
...And some people find the one person who's they've been missing, without even knowing it.
Keira Knightley and Steve Carell absolutely shine. Forget anything else they've done; it doesn't matter here. This road-story/love-story is well acted, well directed, and lovingly paced. There's very little cliché or need for any gimmickry. Every scene is packed full of human heart - even the simplest characters are imagined with fullness and care.
And the soundtrack is pure soul...music that really lets you dive in and swim.
I'd say, get with someone you love and enjoy it. And just accept that everything...in the end...is just the way it is. Choose to love your world, while you have it.
