THIS MOVIE DERSERVES MORE ATTENTION AND A BETTER PLACE IN THE HIERACHY OF FILM HISTORY. ABSOULTELY LOVED IT!!! IT'S REALLY DAVID LYNCH LIKE BUT WITHOUT THE INCOHERENT WEIRDNESS. A LOVELY SLOW BUILD-UP, WONDERFUL GRITTY ACTING FROM BOTH LEADS, A MOVING, REAL STORY, I WAS TOTALLY ABSORBED FROM START TO FINISH, THANK YOU JOHN CASSTAVETTES. THIS IS A FILM LIKE NO OTHER AND A FILM THAT HOLLYWOOD WOULD NEVER (SADLY) MAKE TODAY! A VERY SPECIAL FILM. NICE TO SEE SUCH A REALISTIC, UNGLOSSY, WELL-ACTED PIECE OF WORK. HAD A TOUCH OF WOODY ALLEN TOO! LOVED IT.

No film has affected me this much in my life, it's funny, sad and moving but these are all sweeping generalities that I mention here. The film needs to be seen to appreciate it's uniqueness. I aggree with the other review that the style is Lynchish, but the substance in this movie is incredible. It builds up slowly like nothing seems to be happening but then all these slow and quite moments suddenly well up into emotional storms that you never saw coming. I'm not going to write anymore - but please see this movie, it will affect everyone different ways. You're missing out if you don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful work of beauty and wonder, November 12, 2011

I just had the good fortune to view this beautiful film. It's a shame it isn't widely available (it's never been released on DVD in Region 1). As for the cast, the acting is outstanding, especially Gena Rowlands performance, which is staggering, and John Cassavetes himself, who commands the screen throughout. Moreover, it's very entertaining and watchable, so if you're wary of Cassavetes reputation for creating obtuse, difficult films you needn't be concerned here. As for the plot, what struck me most is how the film begins (Robert's house as a chaotic location filled with people, yet devoid of anything resembling love) and ends (Robert, all by himself [except for the menagerie Sarah brought home for him], after he's finally awakened to a real love--his Platonic love for Sarah). In other words, Sarah's mantra of love as a constant stream comes to pass. She may be mad, but her perceived insanity is really a beautiful vision at odds with our modern world and it's power saves Robert from a life of despair.
