      Drew Toal Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com A great deal of the reason for that belongs solely to Buy. This is, without a doubt, one of the finest performances by an actress I've seen this year, nearly up to the same remarkable plateau as Kristin Scott Thomas' work in I've Loved You So Long. Rated: 3/4 Nov 26, 2008 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Days and Clouds, despite its darkness, warmly reminds us that if we have each other, sometimes that's all we need. Rated: 3/4 Nov 21, 2008 Full Review Martin Tsai New York Sun Mr. Soldini, who made the 2001 sleeper hit “Bread and Tulips,” has thoughtfully fashioned a human interest story out of current events by creating wholly believable characters and scenarios. Apr 21, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's not a film for those who go to movies to escape life. Rated: B May 30, 2011 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Well intentioned yet utterly dull... Rated: 2/4 Mar 5, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
