3.5/4

A movie about love and sex that is wiser and more useful than the adolescent fantasies enacted by adults in Hollywood pictures.

Fonteyne makes sure the sex/love talk is concise and comprehensible -- a relief -- and there are some blessed interludes.

It's an actor's showcase, and the two leads are phenomenal.

I LOVE this movie so much! It's so cute and sweet and touching. I love how you never get to see what's going on behind the hotel doors,it's like a mystery and you have to use your own imagination to know the sexual activity that's going on. Beautiful and stunning movie! The ending was sooo sad though but,altogether,this was an amazing movie! :)
