Rosie's tale is simply not that compelling to justify all this determined drabness.

an awesum movie, a one time experience but it's like impossible to catch it so if you can find this movie on a international art-house TV (thanks to cnbcé in turkey) or in a dvd rental store dont miss it and take the pleasure..

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
